Genius Project Symposium 2018

About

The Genius Project Symposium is the culmination of two years of work on the Genius Project featuring speakers hand-picked for their Genius Projects.

In addition to the speakers who present their project live on stage, there are also, starting in 2018, so-called 'Spotlight Projects" which are essentially "Honorable Mentions" and consist of videos of speakers being interviewed about their projects. These are produced in-house by TheSage.

2018's Symposium had audio work and DJing done by Swell DJ Entertainment.
