FORWARD was Flexport's first world-class conference, bringing together clients from across the global supply chain to talk about the future of freight.

I designed the event identity for FORWARD from the ground up, creating a visual system that could stand on its own while staying true to Flexport's newly established brand. The goal was to build something distinctive enough to own the room, but familiar enough to deepen recognition of the Flexport brand.
