With its theme inspired by the famous Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, the 2012 conference will provoke participants to rethink their profession, recognize and strengthen their existing connections, and build new ones. In two boroughs, participants will explore the “bridges” between local and global cultures, generations, languages, philosophies, and visual styles.

Experiencing the two unique communities—the funky, DIY vibe of Brooklyn and the sleek, glass-and-steel culture of Manhattan—will underscore how designers can learn from different approaches and experiences, and redefine themselves in the process.
