Another reminder that A Better World By Design is quickly approaching, taking place between October 2nd and 4th at the campuses of Brown and RISD in Providence, Rhode Island. Core77 is proud to be a media sponsor for the conference, where we will be hosting our first-ever LIVE 1 Hour Design Challenge.

The speaker line-up is stellar, including William Drenttel of Design Observer and Winterhouse, Teddy Cruz of UC San Diego, Kigge Hvid of INDEX:, Vivian Loftness of Carnegie Mellon University, Emily Pilloton of Project H Design, John Maeda of RISD, and Nathan Shedroff of California College of Arts. We will be welcoming panelists from around the world to engage workshops and panels to engage such topics as, Architecture in the Developing World, Communication for Activism, Green Building, Green Consumer Products, Information Design, and the Integration of Design & Business.

And that's not all—guests will also be treated to a rich series of panel discussions and workshops, on subjects as diverse as model-making culture, city farming, design and activism, medical design, and the future of transportation.
