Event Branding
The Challenge
The EOS Conference is an annual event designed specifically for businesses running on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). Attendees are able to connect with other EOS leaders, and attend breakout sessions to strengthen their knowledge about EOS. The challenge presented with branding the conference is that EOS is a service-based company, and has limited product offerings to anchor the design to.
The Solution
To brand the conference, I focused on translating the company’s expertise, values, and client experience into a memorable environment people can feel, instead of “making an event look cool.” I did this by I dissecting the content for key words or phrases to draw imagery from while staying within the brand's guidelines.
Great conferences are built around a clear narrative, and not just their title. Instead of plastering "EOS Conference 2026" everywhere, I anchored the theme around "Connect. Learn. Strengthen."
To make the experience feel cohesive, I built an entire visual system that encompasses:
- Keynote screens
- Social graphics
- Signage
- Presentation templates
- Merch
- Motion graphics
- Environmental design
Brand Guide Sample
Social Media
The images center people because they tend to perform better. Faces, expressions, body language, and eye contact can signal excitement. People-centered images show who people are working with, what the culture feels like, and credibility when the images come from internal sources.
Slide Deck Assets
The video below was created in PowerPoint, and features the line up of keynote speakers and sponsors that looped between sets. I used the principles of emphasis and movement to create visual interest as the speakers circulated through the slides.
PowerPoint/Google Slides Sample
These slide templates were handed to speakers for their breakout sessions. Included in the template were instructions, text treatment, icons, images, and multiple layout options. Below is a sample of what was given to them.

Environmental Design
Environmental design in a conference setting is the practice of shaping the physical and spatial experience of the event so the brand is felt throughout the environment. It’s where branding, architecture, signage, and experience all come together for immersion.
