June Dwell on Design Conference Announces Extensive Speaker Line-up

The third annual Dwell on Design Conference + Exhibition, debuting in Los Angeles, June 5-8, 2008 will constitute the largest design show in the West.

With over 50 speakers, the conference will offer the most diverse subject matter related to modern design ever presented live in Los Angeles.

Exclusively moderated by Dwell editors, the 13 panels will feature a roster of incredibly talented and diverse people ranging from legislators to practitioners to activists will be discussing everything from urban gardening, to a mandated LEED program for Los Angeles, to why there are so few developers who love good design.

The conference follows two parallel tracks but participants are encouraged to partake in all discussions.

The conference opens with conversation specifically devoted to the future of Los Angeles, with panels including LA Grows Up: Dealing With Density and Los Angeles LEEDs the Way?, which explores what a mandated LEED program means for the city.

A highly anticipated panel moderated by Dwell Senior Editor Amber Bravo will explore Immortality Through Product.

A focus will be on the process of bringing products to market and the way in which design skills may be wrapped into a product that reaches a broader audience than a designer might access through design as a service.
