| Design Entrepreneurs: INNOVATE
The annual full-day Metropolis Conference @ ICFF is an international
gathering of entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and innovators from
many fields and disciplines. The key to success -- now more urgently
than ever -- is INNOVATION. How are designers, architects,
businesses, and schools reinventing themselves to fit 21st century
models? Our speakers share their insights and success.
Join us as we explore the essential role of innovation in architecture, design, education, business, materials, technology, history and more!
