This seminar enlightened my understanding of new scientific possibilities. I had never heard of a solar powered plane before in my life, and this is after taking a Natural Resource Conservation course at Georgia fall semester. I think that my greatest takeaway from this seminar was to really believe in your personal vision and work hard to achieve your goals despite other people's thoughts and opinions about them. The pilots were told that building a solar powered plane was impossible. If they had listened to this information and ended their quest then, they would have never reached their goals. This seminar encourages me to become more adamant in mastering my visionary goals despite the appearance of difficulty.
Adobe: The New Creatives
The most memorable aspect of this seminar was the face painting projections that circulated on screen throughout the seminar while simultaneously mesmerizing my attention as I attempted to dissect the various aspects of each face painting. One question that came to mind was whether or not some of the face paintings might be offensive to some rural civilizations around the world, such as when ads portray traditional Native American costume. I personally concluded that the face paintings were tastefully done and were diverse enough to avoid any direct representation of a particular culture of people and perhaps avoided any sort of offense that may have risen from the public.
Cosmopolitan: Fashion, Sex, Celebrity & Character: A Candid Conversation with Sarah Jessica Parker & Joanna Coles
Seeing how a group of us girls waited on the first row of Grand Audi for this, some of this session was a blur simply because Sarah Jessica Parker was sitting about 5 feet away from me...if that! Otherwise, I remember a flew of photographers annoyingly snapping away in front of me just about the entire session. I honestly don't blame them because I pretty much was too - but I had a seat. I think this issue could have been handled more proactively for increased session enjoyment. For instance, everyone was snapping away for so long because SJP refused to give anyone on the right side of the stage a good snapshot as she kept her head turned away from us almost the entire time. I think that if both Ms. Joanna Coles and SJP had simply took a few moments to stand and smile at the start of the session for everyone to snap away, people would have been able to pay more attention to what was actually being said during the seminar. With the photography distractions aside, I realized how much more of a brand SJP really is aside from her fashion sense and well known TV show. I never knew how politically and socially involved she was before attending this session.
Cirkus: DIY Workshop: Be the animation director!
This workshop was really fun for me. I had never really learned much about the animation process prior to this, and the workshop provided a good overview of it all. Groups were given the opportunity to be really creative and make story boards at the end of the workshop as a competition. This workshop helped me realize how creative I can be under pressure, which I really enjoyed.
Richard Edelman: Why you can't be CEO from behind a desk
This session was intruiging and provided great insight on how to successfully lead a major PR company. An interesting aspect of this Master Class was when Richard Edelman discussed how to properly handle family in business. I think that this is an important concept that you don't hear many people talk about.
CP+B: The Creative Reality Check: A brief message on behalf of the seven billion people who aren't at Cannes Lions
The commercials shown in the beginning of this seminar were eye opening and a bit controversial. I really enjoyed the Netflix cheater campaign, it showed real humor.
