Over three days, you will hear from 20 industry leaders about novel approaches and solutions to extreme poverty, access to basic resources, and environmental degredation. Workshops will put theory to practice in the spirit of engineering. And at night, get ready to let loose at our mixer and gala! Design for a better world is often user-centered, affordable, and simple. As E.F. Schumacher famously put it, "small is beautiful." The urgency and scale of today's global crises is making this approach to appropriate technology more relevant than ever.
