DIS:PLAY Creative Tech Summit
DIS:PLAY is a one-day creative tech summit hosted at Cornell Tech that invites creatives, technologists, and founders to disrupt the display and play with the rules. We’re excited to kick off NYC Design Week. Across fashion, film, music, and design, DIS:PLAY centers works and practices that are raw and unapologetically experimental.
