cusp is a two day conference about the design of everything.
it brings together thinkers, innovators, entrepreneurs, performers, skeptics, believers, visionaries and explorers from the arts, sciences, technology, business and design – for two days of broad thinking. it’s about getting people out of the world they know and immersing them in a flood of ideas that ultimately help break down barriers and connect unknown dots. and it’s about finding ideas and relevance in unexpected places.
attendees enjoy 25+ thought-provoking and inspiring presentations by people who are passionate about designing a better future. the program is eclectic by design, intended to provoke cross-pollination of ideas and generate new thinking. every attendee has the opportunity to see every presentation — there are no breakouts or q+a sessions. attendees have numerous opportunities to network and interact (schmooze) with presenters and fellow attendees during conversation breaks and other social events.
