Our Vision
Make creative technology a public craft in the USA, not a closed industry conversation.
Radical Conference exists to give the United States a flagship World Creative Technology Conference: a place where design, engineering, media, research, and entrepreneurship share one stage.
We commission original talks, run working labs, and publish a year-round editorial program so the conversation does not end when the livestream closes. The gathering is hybrid by design. Attendees join from studios, campuses, and homes nationwide. We do not publish a street address or telephone number because Radical is accessed entirely through this website and registered participant spaces.
Our team includes producers, editors, and community hosts who have spent years inside creative technology festivals, product conferences, and cultural institutions. The result is a program that feels as rigorous as a research symposium and as alive as a studio critique.

Make creative technology a public craft in the USA, not a closed industry conversation.
Support first-time speakers, independent studios, and students with access pathways and mentorship rooms.
Pair researchers with makers so methods travel between labs, agencies, and product teams.
Radical is built on three commitments: craft over hype, inclusion over gatekeeping, and evidence over slogans. Every session is reviewed for originality, usefulness, and respect for the people who will use the work.
We believe creative technology should expand who gets to invent culture. That means accessible pricing, captioned sessions, and a code of conduct that is actually enforced. It also means we invite speakers who are shipping work now, across film, games, education, architecture, music, and product design.

The most useful creative technology gathering I have attended in the United States. Practical, generous, and genuinely cross-disciplinary.
I left with collaborators, not just notes. The lab format is the difference between a conference and a working studio.
Radical treats ethics and craft as the same conversation. That is rare, and it is why our team returns every year.
