I'm so glad to see this up on the Greenpage, not only for shameless self-promotion (I'm the event coordinator this year and Doc Chemers is our M.C.), but because this type of event embodies the lateral thinking that Dramats are constantly looking for - the event is designed to bring together highly intelligent people of wildly different interests and fields of expertise and get them talking to each other, sharing ideas from their backgrounds that may solve the problems of another attendee in a completely new way from anything they've every thought of. Whether you're a designer looking for inspiration, a technologist or fabricator looking for new technologies and materials, or a manager or crew head looking for ways to inspire others (or rapping about finances - trust me, it happened last year), this event's a place to experience that. That's certainly why I do it, anyway.

This is so exciting! I am very proud to attend a university that can host this "ImPossible" lecture. I am sure it will be very exciting and inspiring, something everyone should watch. It is great to see so many diverse backgrounds coming together to talk about problem solving and achieving the "impossible." It sounds like a very intellectually stimulating experience!
