Conference Seeking Skunkworks

This year we're introducing a new component to our program called "Skunkworks." We are actively looking for dynamic speakers to give short talks about the future of our industry next April in San Francisco.

Who should submit their project?

You're an architect, engineer, technologist, marketer, or researcher working in an AEC firm who is building something awesome, probably in your spare time, most likely just to see if it can be built. Maybe it is a mobile app, or a social media program, or a BIM plug-in, or a cloud service. Or something we've never even fathomed. You've got a skunkworks project going on and we want to know about it.

Perhaps people have told you that your idea is crazy. Or that your innovation is ahead of its time. Cool. That's just what we're looking for.

Hit Us With Your Best Pitch

We're looking for up to ten speakers to give short talks (under 7 minutes) about their most innovative skunkworks projects at KA Connect 2012.

Interested? If so, please send us a short video (again, under 7 minutes long) about your project to connect@knowledge-architecture.com by the close of business on Friday, December 16th. The video doesn't have to be professional; we're looking for the power of the idea and your personal passion for innovation.

If we select your project, you'll receive one complimentary registration to KA Connect 2012 on April 11th and 12th in San Francisco. Your talk will be recorded and posted on the KA Connect website and iTunes. Perhaps most important, you'll connect with a tribe of folks who are all pushing our industry into the future.

We want to hear from you. What are you working on?
