Creativity Now
As I mentioned a while back, the hip magazine Tokion is sponsoring a conference called "Creativity Now." It's being held Oct. 15th and 16th at Cooper Union.
The conference is an series of panel discussions on an eclectic variety of topics. Some of this year's themes include Independent Music, Iconic Advertising, and The Future of Content. I notice that two Chiat/Day alums are going to be on panel, Steve Bassett and Eric Grunbaum. Film-maker Todd Haynes will be on another. And prize-winning author and essayist Robert Kaplan on yet another.
I went last year and it was really amazing.
