Applied Brilliance is the architecture and design industry's most innovative and influential executive-level conference.
It is designed to inspire and inform top architects and designers who create our built environments, worldwide.

Applied Brilliance is unlike any other executive-level conference created for the architecture and design community. If you depend on creativity and resilience for survival, Applied Brilliance is essential to your future.

This annual two-day event promotes creativity and innovation, through an original interdisciplinary approach that reveals critical shifts in cultural trends. It is designed as a non-commercial, powerful collaboration among attendees and world-class thought leaders in identifying the most important emerging trends and issues that affect us professionally and personally.

Applied Brilliance has earned a reputation for providing ahead-of-the-curve information and inspiration. Applied Brilliance has already proven itself to be the event for design professionals interested in thinking more expansively and creatively as they design how we work, live and play. It is supported by leading industry brands of products and services which work alongside attendees and speakers exploring innovative approaches to solving problems.

Applied Brilliance was originally conceived by Deborah Patton for Architecture and Interiors magazines. The conference now lives on under her ownership and features the same stellar line-up of brilliant speakers who are among the brightest minds and thought leaders in the nation.

Applied Brilliance 2008 will be staged October 14th thorough 16th, during the height of the fall foliage season at the historic Sagamore Hotel overlooking Lake George in beautiful Bolton Landing, New York, located in the Adirondack Park.


We live in a world undergoing change at unprecedented speed. Whether it's emergence of new of global economies, living in an information world without borders, keeping up with high velocity trends or remaining resilient in reinventing how business is done, change is unleashing the need for applied brilliance.
