“Creativity is just having enough dots to connect.”
- Steve Jobs
GRAVITY FREE is a multidisciplinary design innovation conference like no other. Each May, hundreds of designers attend GRAVITY FREE to collect more dots. What they experience is two and half days immersed in the passion and point of view of 22 world class designers from 20 wildly diverse design disciplines. Think of it as a deep escape from predictable design conferences… a thought-provoking “why” conference, not a typical “how to” conference… an instantaneous cross-fertilization of fresh ideas worth knowing and sharing. “It’s like drinking from a fire hose,” says one industrial designer who attends each year.
Ideas are just half the experience, access to speakers is another. Unlike design conferences where speakers “talk and walk”, GRAVITY FREE speakers hang out, become part of the event, giving attendees rare and unrestricted access -- during sessions, Q&A, meals, breaks, activities, receptions, and speaker-hosted roundtables. “I still can’t believe I just sat down at Jeannine Oppewall’s table and talked with her for 45 minutes.” says a first time attendee. (Jeannine is the four-time Academy Award nominee for Production Design on LA Confidential, The Good Sheperd, Pleasantville and Sea Biscuit.)
GRAVITY FREE may just be the event you would design: Small, intimate and endlessly inspiring. A salon of rich ideas. An extended dinner party for 300 guests plus the world’s most remarkable designers. Short speeches. Big visions. No break out sessions. Everyone having the same experience. And enough brain food to keep you gravity free through your next project. How good is that!
You are invited to join us. Come curious. Leave inspired.
