2008 Sarasota International Design Summit was really something

Kudos to Larry Thompson, Mary Craig, Christine Meeker Lange and all the people from Ringling College of Art + Design who put together the International Design Summit this year. My firm was a sponsor of the 2008 edition of the Summit, and it was well worth the investment. I also got to meet and hear from some brilliant minds in the world of design and technology: Jennifer Magnolfi of Herman Miller, Tom Wujec of Autodesk, Franco Lodato of Pininfarina Extra and Michael Alexin of Target Corporation, just to name a very few. Great event. Very thought-provoking.

My friends from the EDC of Sarasota County were there to run the registration tables. Sitting with Dr. Thompson at Lunch on the final day, I was reminded that the Design Summit concept came out of a discussion of the EDC's creative services cluster group. This successful event is a reminder for us all of the importance of these ongoing discussions.
