- An HD absence: You haven’t attended HD Expo + Conference in the past three years. No need to explain why. We’d just love to see you again!
- Experience: Applicants should hold a managerial-level position or higher. While six years of experience is preferred, professionals with over three years of relevant experience are also encouraged to apply.(If you have less experience, check out our New Design Professionals program!)
