Exponential technology, entrepreneurship, and positive global impact are probably the top 3 at work, but this year’s focus on design seems to be embedded within all of the above. Design track chair Jonathan Knowles works as a strategic advisor to the CEO and CTO at Autodesk, the company literally designing the world around us. Autodesk software is responsible for everything from the New York Freedom Tower to Tesla’s electric cars, and even the world of Pandora James Cameron created in Avatar.
