PSFK has been tracking inspirational events and conferences being held around the world, featuring exceptional gatherings in the Events section of our home page. Below are a handful of upcoming events that we are looking forward to as platforms for speakers and attendees to spread good ideas.

Viscomtec10 – Consumer Focused Experience With Technology, Frankfort, Germany, November 3rd

viscom tec conference is an annual conference for the movers and shakers in marketing and visual communication technology. They gather to inspire, to entertain, and to discuss the latest ideas and technologies that will change the way we communicate.

Defining exactly what to expect at viscom tec.10 conference isn’t easy. We invite great speakers from different technology, business and science areas. Their perspective on one topic combined with other topics will hopefully lead to a better understanding and lay the foundation for fruitful discussions and building relationships.

viscom tec.10 conference is the place for your questions: conference participants are invited to send in a topic, a problem or a question which they would like to see covered. The questions will set the course of the discussion at the conference and will serve as the basis for a fruitful exchange of opinions.

Let Love Reign Photography Exhibit, Charlotte, October 22nd

Please join us on Friday, October 22nd from 6:00pm till 9:00pm for the opening reception at Gil Gallery, 109 W. Morehead Street, Charlotte, NC. Let Love Reign will be on display from Friday, October 22nd through Saturday, October 30th. Gil Gallery is open Monday-Friday 10:00am – 5:00pm and Saturdays 10:00am – 2:00pm. Simply stated, Let Love Reign is a national movement to legalize same-sex marriage. It started out as a collection of portraits of gay and lesbian couples in Charlotte, NC. One look at the shots, and it was clear that what we’d created wasn’t so much a portfolio of people in love, but a visual representation of love between committed couples who do not have the same legal rights as married couples in the United States.

Eyebeam X-Lab, New York, October 26th
