A mini-conference + workshop.  Sat, Sept 24 Pivotal Labs, NYC 11am - 5pm

In short, current and developing technologies are presenting us with exciting opportunities to push design in new directions. Art and R&D are converging. The definition of products is evolving. As we seek to make beautiful objects and experiences, we are bridging the bits to atoms divide.

Come dialog about the above ideas, see some awesome work, share your love of lasers with a great group of people, and get started on something new in an afternoon workshop session.

This event is Free and open to everyone. RSVP at this link.
