"Justin Cone and I have curated an experience that delivers creative ideas from almost every sector of the creative world."

We know attendees will be amazed at the wide range of creative experiences that speakers will be sharing," said Justin Cone, co-creator of F5 and editor and publisher of Motionographer.

 

Topics to be covered by this wide-ranging group of presenters include design presentations on activism, animation, choreography, cross-media experience, game development, motion design, and title sequence design; inspirational topics such as improvisational performance, urban pranksterism, utopia/dystopia and storytelling; presentations on technique including architecture, creative process, entertainment, immersive gaming, interactivity, music and narrative, urban planning, visual effects, filmmaking, live visuals, social networking; and visionary topics like science, the future of entertainment, and art vs. commerce.
