Designing identity and experience for the Connect
Establishing the identity of VAS's first Connect Summit in Beaver Creek, CO Shortly after becoming the CEO of VAS, Tim Taylor made a bold commitment to hold their first user summit within his first year. This was a significant challenge, especially in light of the considerable transformations happening within the organization. To achieve this, VAS partnered with Middlestate and various creative teams to develop a unique brand and experience that stood out among dairy industry events. The outcome was a three-day dairy technology summit held in the picturesque resort town of Beaver Creek, CO, named the Connect Summit. Middlestate, alongside our partners at Elastik, crafted a flexible identity system, created environmental designs throughout the resort, produced striking digital presentations on a cutting-edge 70-ft video wall, and designed an engaging experience for attendees. The sold-out event was deemed a success by all standards, and we are currently gearing up for our return to Beaver Creek for the second edition in June.
