It was a fantastic event with a diverse pool of industry reps, artists, designers and academics. If you weren’t there or missed the live broadcast, you can catch the highlights over at Inhabitat, including videos, pictures and wrap-ups from the presenters.

If you are interested in industrial design, e-waste, energy or just gadgets in general, I highly recommend checking out all the ideas and innovations that were in the spotlight.
