The creative employment field is a constantly shifting one, and the upcoming Coroflot Creative Confab in New York this Friday is no exception. After some re-shuffling, the one hour panel discussion that forms the heart of the event will now include two previously introduced speakers -- design recruiter extraordinaire Judy Wert, and Big Spaceship CEO Michael Lebowitz -- and two new additions about which we're just giddy:

Tom Nicholson, CEO of leading digital design agency IconNicholson, and

Khoi Vinh, Design Director of NYTimes.com, and author of pivotal design blog Subtraction.com

We'll have more background on each of these veterans as the week progresses, or just take a look at their respective sites for a window into some industry-defining thought on the process and business of digital creation. To hear all four of them discuss the current state of the professions, and meet like-minded creative professionals, get your registration on at the Confab event page on Coroflot here.
