Killing two birds with one stone, the design way: In October the Savannah College of Art and Design will be hosting two conferences at once, studiously arranging the schedules "so that attendees from either event can attend keynote speeches from the other conference without paying extra cost and without having to miss anything from their own conference."
The first event, quite fittingly, is the 2ND Annual Collaborative Innovative Networks (COINs) Conference, which "[brings] together a multi-disciplinary, international group of practitioners, researchers and students of the emerging science of collaboration." The second event is Design Ethos, a four-day conference on the future of design education.
"This once-in-a-lifetime intersection of the world's most noted forward-thinking designers will foster an extraordinary sharing of knowledge and ideas," says SCAD Graphic Design chair John Waters. "We expect the energy in the room to be virtually combustible."
