On Wednesday December 19, I'm thrilled to say that Debbie Millman will speak at the final public event connected to the show As Real As It Gets at apexart in New York. She'll talk about "Why We Buy, Why We Brand," a "deep dive into the influence branding has on our everyday lives, from branding ourselves and the world around us, to the role branding plays in the products we buy and the way we live." Design Observer readers of course know her popular Design Matters radio show, and for that matter may know that she's president of the design division at Sterling Brands and chair of the Masters In Branding Program at SVA. She knows what she's talking about! Recommended. – Rob Walker
