ASPEN DESIGN SUMMIT
JUNE 20-23
ASPEN, COLORADO


http://aspendesignsummit.org

Don't miss out on a life-changing experience at the Aspen Design Summit, where
design leaders and professionals from business, government, culture and education
will use the design process to brainstorm initiatives that promote worldwide,
far-reaching change.

It's also a chance to join the new guard of design, forming strategic partnerships
that will serve as a catalyst for the next era of global innovative leadership.
You'll work closely in a studio-based group, focusing on one of the following
issues:

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: Re-imagining the mechanisms and strategies
for change in America's urban environments.

EDUCATION INNOVATION: Creating high school programs and environments to engage
all students and respond to the new three Rs: rigor, relevance and relationships.

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: Launching a design revolution to put an end to poverty
in developing countries.


Read more about these issues, and how the Aspen Design Summit will work in this
roundtable from Core77, featuring Summit moderator John Thackara, program director
Dorothy Dunn, and studio leaders Adam French and Mark Randall.
