Sunday Portfolio Throwdown! Our conference grand finale! This will be a time to bring your portfolio, grab a table or a floor and share your work with other conference goers. Also during this time we'll have scheduled one-on-one portfolio reviews with presenters from the conference as well as other professionals (see Portfolio Throwdown description on the website for a list of reviewers).
