GRAVITY FREE: 2008 (Chicago, IL, USA)
Monday, January 21st, 2008 by Conference Editor| May 12, 2008 | to | May 14, 2008 |
GRAVITY FREE is a truly unique multidisciplinary design conference. Each year we pick a theme. Then we select 22 of the most passionate designers, design thinkers and innovators on the planet from 20 different design disciplines to help us explore the theme. The result: an experience like none other — a remarkable cross-fertilization of ideas and inspiration that only happens when such a remarkable variety of design influences interact.
GRAVITY FREE covers the waterfront of creative disciplines. Speakers come from architecture, retail display, storytelling, experiential environments, urban planning, customer experience, product design, information architecture, exhibit design, aerospace, interior design, theme environments, production design, illusion, molecular gastronomy, automotive design, technology and media, museum design, brand management.
GRAVITY FREE speakers are the change agents. GRAVITY FREE is a “why” conference, not a “how to” conference.
GRAVITY FREE: 2008’s theme, “The Year of Dangerous Minds”, is about creative risk-taking. It celebrates the brashness of larger-than-life revolutionaries who redraw boundaries and whose shock waves often reverberate well beyond their own disciplines.
The GRAVITY FREE speaker list will include a broad mix of architects, product designers, urban planners, innovation strategists, experience designers, screen writers, graphic designers, authors, aeronautical designers, scientists, automotive designers, retail designers, and visionaries of every stripe.
