*CREATIVITY & COGNITION 2007
Early registration is open until May 12 for Creativity & Cognition
Conference
Room is also still available in our workshops and tutorials*
Join us at Creativity & Cognition 2007 in Washington DC, June 13-15.

Creativity & Cognition 2007 is focused on theme of cultivating and
sustaining creativity: understanding how to design and evaluate
computational support tools, digital media, and socio-technical
environments that not only empower our creative processes and abilities,
but that also encourage and nurture creative mindsets and lifestyles.
The Creativity & Cognition Conference series began in 1993 and has
evolved into a lively multidisciplinary event combining research and
practice. Rigorous research is expanding as theoretic foundations are
emerging and goals become more well-defined. Successful practice
manifests itself in a growing array of creativity support tools for
discovery and composition by software and other engineers, diverse
scientists, product and graphic designers, architects, new media
artists, musicians, educators, students, and many others. We believe
that deeper understanding of creative processes and improved support
tools can make more people more creative more of the time.
Early registration is open till May 12 for Creativity & Cognition Conference
Room is also still available in our workshops and tutorials.
