One of Bemidji State University Technology, Art & Design’s brightest stars, Anika Norgren earned a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Europe’s most influential exhibit design show after winning a prestigious student design competition.<\/p>\n

The Annandale-native submitted a trade exhibit mock-up in October for a student competition sponsored by the Experiential Design Producers Association, an organization which represents more than 300 corporations and thousands of professional members in the exhibit and experience design industry.<\/p>\n

The exhibit and experience design industry creates visual brand identities and interactive experiences for retail stores, trade shows, corporate office interiors and more. If you’ve ever been wowed by a booth at an entertainment conference, or had your eye drawn to a unique product display in your favorite department store, you can credit the creativity of people like Norgren.<\/p>\n

EDPA judges choose Norgren’s entry over nearly 40 other undergraduate and graduate submissions from universities across the country, punching Norgren’s ticket to Dusseldorf, Germany to attend EuroShop 2023, Europe’s largest exhibit and retail design trade show. Joined by five classmates and Dr. Sachel Josefson, associate professor of technology, art & design, Norgren took a lot away from her five days in Germany.<\/p>\n
