Keynote Speaker
Brian Collins
Chairman and Chief Creative Officer, COLLINS
|
|
|
Brian Collins is Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of COLLINS:, a
laboratory for innovation and transformation design - where teams of
artists, writers, architects, technologists and strategists collaborate
with their clients to invent the future.
From 1998 to 2007 he led the Brand Integration Group (BIG) at Ogilvy &
Mather. His work includes Helios House, BP's LEED-certified gas
station in Los Angeles; the twelve-story Hershey Chocolate Factory in
Times Square, NY; and global design programs for Coca-Cola, Motorola,
Jaguar Cars, Mattel, American Express and IBM. His team launched the
Dove "Campaign for Real Beauty" in North America with an international
photo exhibition that explored what beauty meant to the best female
photographers in the world. The National Organization for Women (NOW)
honored him with their annual Media Award for their work.
Brian has been a design consultant to Levi Strauss & Co., Yahoo!, Kodak,
Amazon.com and the Alliance for Climate Protection, Nobel Laureate Al
Gore's organization to end the climate crisis. |

Keynote Speaker
Frank Moss
Director, MIT Media Lab
|
|
|
Frank Moss is Director of the MIT Media Lab and holds the Jerome Wiesner professorship of Media Arts and Sciences. An entrepreneur and 30-year veteran of the software and computer industries, Frank Moss has spent his career bringing innovative business technologies to market. In recent years, however, he's been seeking something different: how to make a broader contribution to the world by using technology to address pressing social issues-such as health care- to improve quality of life for people worldwide.
Moss assumed his current position at the Media Lab in early 2006. The Lab has played a pioneering role over the last 20 years in creating the digital lifestyle we enjoy today. But Moss believes the best is yet to come: a globally connected digital society that makes people smarter, healthier, and more creative. Under Moss's leadership the Lab is conducting research on technologies that extend and enhance people's physical, cognitive, and social capabilities; computers that can relate to people in more human terms; and organically decentralized networks that unlock the creative, innovative, and problem-solving powers of people in ways not before possible.
