Y Water, L.A.-based creator of the new organic and innovatively- packaged super drink for children, will participate in the upcoming Art Center Design Conference: Serious Play.
To be held at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California May 7, 8 and 9, this conference will investigate the various ways that play benefits creativity and innovation in professional fields such as business, the arts, design and technology.
An illustrious international line-up of speakers are scheduled to participate, among them CEOs, graphic designers, architects, filmmakers, inventors, authors, Nobel Prize-winners, hackers, athletes, journalists, a homicide detective and more.
Conference attendees will have the opportunity to put the concept of play into live practice with the collaborative construction of a large Y Water sculpture in the event tent.
1,000 empty bottles provided by Y Water will serve as the preliminary building blocks of the sculpture whereupon attendees will be encouraged to add their own individual water bottles (gifts of Y Water) to the creation.
Eastman Innovation Lab, manufacturer of the Y Water bottles, will host the kick-off of the Y Water event at the morning coffee break on Thursday, May 8th: construction of the Y Water sculpture will continue throughout the Conference.

As the trend towards globalisation continues there is a growing connectedness between all our actions and a growing interdependence between the social, economic and the environmental.
This increasing connectedness raises new moral and ethical issues and challenges.
This concept has been termed 'connexity' (Mulgan, 1998) and provides the title for the conference and the backdrop for the themes of the EAD 08 Conference, which seeks to explore the implications of these trends for design research and practice.
8th International Conference of the European Academy of Design offers a forum for design academics, researchers, practitioners and industry representatives to meet, exchange ideas and share new knowledge and insights across the field of design.
The conference includes keynote lectures, papers, posters and an exhibition of practice-based design research.

Professional designers and design enthusiasts around the globe will unite on June 29, 2008 for the first ever observance of World Industrial Design Day (WIDD).
Established on the occasion of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (Icsid) 50th anniversary, the observance is an occasion to explore the development and evolution of industrial design, specifically focusing on its significant merits and impact on quality of life.
"Observing World Industrial Design Day is an impressionable initiative to involve the design community in a unified movement to promote a better understanding of industrial design and to promote the positive effects of design on everyday life," stated Prof. Carlos Hinrichsen, Icsid President.
"In this first year, we have set a conservative goal to simply raise awareness about World Industrial Design Day.
However, we expect the observance to grow in scope and in content with each passing year."
Excitement around the day has already garnered international attention and a series of events has already been identified to support the effort.
International events include a design conference, exhibitions, in-store promotional events, a roundtable discussion, lectures and a book launch, as well as the circulation of print materials within the Icsid network of members to raise awareness of the day on a global scale.
