The 4A’s third annual CreateTech Conference, “Left Brain Meets Right Brain,” features a line-up of coders, futurists, artists and other creatives, who will  explore and discuss the nexus of creativity and technology in marketing and culture.

The leading trade association for the advertising and marketing industry, the 4A’s has enlisted leading scientist and inventor Ray Kurzweil; Wendy Clark, SVP, Integrated Marketing Communications and Capabilities, The Coca-Cola Company; citizen engineer and entrepreneur, Limor Fried, owner of the electronics hobbyist company Adafruit Industries, and many others to speak at the Brooklyn Bowl, the site of this year’s conference.
 

“It’s amazing and unnerving at times to realize just how much technology has changed our industry,” said Nancy Hill, President-CEO of the 4A’s. “It’s also the reason the CreateTech conference is one of the most important for people from all industries to attend and hear from scientists and engineers about what’s happening and all the coming innovations.”
