DESIGN MIAMI 2011
TOKYO DESIGN WEEK 2011
DUTCH DESIGN WEEK 2011
VIENNA DESIGN WEEK 2011At Gravity Free, you need not worry about discipline discrimination. This "multidisciplinary design innovation conference" offers designers big and small, rich and poor (hopefully not too poor to afford the $1650 registration fee), happy and disgruntled, the opportunity to find inspiration outside of their own discipline. This year theme, "The Year of Dangerous MInds," pays tribute to creative risk-taking--the envelope-pushers and ones who blur borders.
As always, 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. Upsetters of apple carts. Boat rockers. They all share a cheeky disregard for convention and outrageously fertile minds. They are, in a word, dangerous.We will not reveal the 2008 line-up of speakers until the fall of 2007, but you should know that a conversation with any one of them will inspire you. And you'll have access to every one. You'll get to know world-famous design legends in open discussions, over lunch, and at receptions, to talk design for a solid two and a half days. That's why this conference exists.

Dangerously creative or not, $1650 rules out a lot of emerging talent from being there. That's a big load of cash.
