GRAVITY FREE: THE CONFERENCE
GRAVITY FREE is a unique multidisciplinary design conference. Every May, in a design-rich location, hundreds of designers from around the world gather to share two and a half days with the most passionate designers, design thinkers, and innovators on the planet.
GRAVITY FREE is about inspiration. It's a "why" conference, not a "how to" conference. The speakers are the change-agents of the world. In the past we've invited to speak such important designers and thinkers as Tucker Viemeister (Oxo Goodgrips kitchen tools); Ron Pompei (Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie stores); Chip Conley (boutique hotels like The Phoenix in San Francisco, based on psychographics of magazines like Rolling Stone); Homaro Cantu (leader of the molecular gastronomy revolution and inventor of the edible menu); Freddy Justen (innovative communications storytelling at international trade fairs); Aldo Cibic (co-founder of the Memphis Design movement in Milan); Deborah Sussman (legendary 1984 Olympics graphic designer) to name just a few.
GRAVITY FREE is about cross-fertilizing your grab bag of ideas. Speakers cover the waterfront of disciplines — from architecture, exhibit design, retail display, storytelling, experiential environments, urban planning, customer experience, product design, information architecture, aerospace, interior design, theme environments, production design, illusion, molecular gastronomy, automotive design, technology and media, museum design, brand management... in fact, ANY area that offers something new and important.
GRAVITY FREE is known for (1) personal access to world-class designers and (2) breadth of content. That's what makes GRAVITY FREE unique and inspirational.
GRAVITY FREE: THE TRIBE
GRAVITY FREE gives designers more dots to connect. Apple Computer's Steve Jobs once said "Creativity is just having enough dots to connect." Designers who come to GRAVITY FREE are perpetually curious. They come to find more dots. They search outside their own world for answers. They cross-fertilize ideas across a vast spectrum of design disciplines. They come to GRAVITY FREE for inspiration; they leave with excitement, insight, and a new respect for the role design plays in business and the role they play in creating value for their company and their clients. They are part of the GRAVITY FREE: TRIBE of the transformed. You are invited to join us. Come curious. Leave inspired.
