10:15AM–11:15AM in Grand F
Innovation labs and creativity hubs are sprouting in our corporate and academic settings. From Harvard’s i-lab to Stanford’s d.school, experiential environments are designed to stimulate entrepreneurship and increase organizational competitiveness by encouraging idea generation, problem solving, collaboration, and product development. In this session, we will discuss creativity, the conditions supportive of the process, and the role of the physical environment. You’ll also have the opportunity to exercise your ingenuity and design a space for innovation.
Hope to see you there!

Bell Rock Lighthouse
Slope, curve and horizontal dovetailing. The design and construction of Bell Rock Lighthouse (Angus, Scotland) is absolutely fascinating. Built by engineer Robert Stevenson from 1807-1810, it stands as the “world’s oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse.” On the bucket list to see!
