WIRED by Design | Sausalito, CA. 29 Sep - 01 OctHow good design shapes the future?!!Design is bigger than logos, gadgets, or fashion. It is also architecture, branding, filmmaking, music, and food. Any series of creative choices made in pursuit of a goal is design. While it sounds simple, we know that making good creative choices is hard—especially when you’re bogged down with meetings, conference calls, and the countless assaults of everyday life. WIRED has created an intellectual retreat—a chance to get out of the grind, unplug, and get inspired. At WxD you will be stimulated, challenged, and entertained inside a living, breathing magazine. It is a chance to stop and consider how good design shapes the future, and to rekindle your own creative spark. !

➡ 2 Days ➡ 250 People ➡ 1 Amazing Experience !!Some of participants: ➡ Marissa Mayer (CEO, Yahoo) ➡ Aaron Koblin (Creative Director, Google) ➡ Michael Hendrix (Founding partner, IDEO) !

and many other world’s famous innovators in design
