Digital solutions for the future of journalism

Today, The Washington Post is as much a tech company as it is a media company, striving for excellence in both journalism and technology. Designers and developers are empowered to experiment and take ownership of their ideas, capitalizing on a culture that promotes speed and rapid innovation. Designers, engineers, and product managers work in partnership with journalists to create exceptional experiences for Post readers as well as tools used internally by the newsroom. Design Director Katie Parker provides an inside look at the company’s culture shift and how it’s positioning the organization for the future.

The Washington Post Engineering team impacts through innovation and challenges the boundaries in technology. We offer an array of products and services including The Washington Post newspaper, The Washington Post app, Washington Post Classic app, washingtonpost.com , WP BrandConnect, Arc Publishing, Washington Post Live events and Post TV yet our approach is always the same–shape ideas, redefine speed and take ownership.

Lunch is included . Registration is $10, limited to 25 attendees and is open to AIGA members first!
