Tokion Magazine announces the Third Annual Creativity Now Conference,
to be held at Cooper Union's historic Great Hall on October 15th and
16th, 2005. This unique symposium will bring together top figures in
art, design, fashion, photography, film, new media, publishing and
marketing. In the same room for the first time, the people shaping
today's popular culture will spend two days exchanging their ideas,
methods and inspirations before an audience of 2,000.
Creativity Now will consist of several panel discussions and individual presentations.
A large cross section of the contemporary creative community is
expected to attend the conference, which will be open to the public.
Creativity Now will be the definitive yearbook of popular culture for
2005.
