Friday Night Mixer

To cap off the first day excitement, Better World will host a mixer on Friday night at ANCHOR, a brand new office space created for start-ups and individuals focusing on design, architecture, and art.

The mixer will put a spotlight on grassroots creativity and invention around the world with the theme “Makeshift Design.” An exhibit will bring together live examples and photographs of inventions created across the globe in the DIY spirit, with a particular focus on resource-constrained areas. Conference Co-Founder Steve Daniels will launch Makeshift: A Journal of Hidden Creativity.

In the spirit of Makeshift Design, entertainment will feature the Get Lively Experiment, a DJ that employs mobile, human-powered sound systems to activate people, places, and policy by "Bringing Bass to Public Space." Food will be provided by local food trucks, including Mama Kim’s Korean BBQLa Strada Wood Fired Pizza, and Mijos Tacos.
