In 2026, CSRA is combining its two signature conferences into one unified event: the CSRA Annual Meeting, hosted in Nashville, Tennessee, November 16–20, 2026. This consolidated gathering brings together the strengths of the former Fall Government Affairs Conference and Summer Membership and Marketing Conference into one high-impact annual event.
The branding should deliver a strong, cohesive visual identity that reflects Nashville’s energy and culture, while maintaining a professional, polished, and adaptable presence across all platforms and materials.
Needs – Visual Identity
Logo Design: A distinct, memorable logo specific to the CSRA Annual Meeting, with flexibility for year-to-year adaptation.
Color Palette: A palette inspired by Nashville (vibrant yet professional—think music, energy, southern warmth).
Typography: Fonts that project confidence and clarity, easy to use across digital and print applications.
Graphic Elements: Icons, textures, or patterns that reinforce the brand (musical motifs, civic engagement, collaboration).
Intent – Brand Integration Across the Event
The identity should be applied consistently and creatively to:
Website & Registration Platform
Event Signage (banners, directional signs, stage design, podium wraps)
Marketing Materials (social media, brochures, ads, emails)
Presentation Templates & Conference App
Attendee Materials (program booklets, name badges, swag such as shirts, totes, pins, pens)
Deliverables
Logo Files: Vector and web formats, with options for full brand lockup and modular elements.
Brand Style Guide: Documentation including colors (PMS), typography, logo usage, and graphic elements.
Expectations: Branding should be memorable, clean, and professional.
Visuals should feel modern and adaptable, supporting everything from large-scale signage to small digital applications.
The brand identity must reflect CSRA’s mission of collaboration, influence, and leadership while creating a recognizable, long-term identity for the Annual Meeting.
