ACADIA 2008: Silicon + Skin

Keynote Lectures

We are extremely excited to host a great list of keynote speakers that have already confirmed their talks. We have decided to group the speakers into three clusters: Design and Design Theory, Engineering and Science. The lectures will be distributed such that over the course of each day during the conference we will feature a range of talks by designers, engineers and scientists.
