Speakers
"The Power of Design" will feature over 60 speakers in mainstage, focus and roundtable sessions, using a variety of presentation formats. Our mainstage presentations will address our conference theme and will feature speakers from diverse and complementary discourses who will bring different perspectives and new ideas to the field of design. Focus sessions will provide you with an opportunity for more intimate interaction with mainstage speakers and will introduce new ones who will address both theme-related and design-centric topics. Our roundtable sessions at breakfast and lunch will enable you to share a meal with speakers and other conferees to discuss common topics of interest. John Hockenberry, NBC journalist and author, will host the conference for the fourth consecutive year.
Our preliminary speakers list has been grouped by content area as well as by special interest group. There are also those individuals that simply defy categories. Check back here regularly to see new speakers that have been added.
