Tommie Varekamp

Industrial Designer, Orange Creatives

" Making New Products in China "

微信图片_20180713101944.jpg

Tommie Varekamp is an Industrial Designer from Netherland. He has lived in China for over 4 years working for the Dutch/Chinese Design company Orange Creatives. In his work and personal hobbies he focuses on new product development of Chinese and foreign start-ups, especially those related to new technologies.

Around Guangzhou there is a factory for everything. But what happens when you decide to bring your own product on the market? Tommie will share his experience of developing an innovative perfume product from start to mass production. From testing, prototyping, factory visits, test rounds to the first shipments and a lot of failures. Hopefully this talk will inspire you to make your own ideas reality (and help you avoid some pitfalls on the way).

John Knauss

Professional Artist / Designer / Writer / Actor / Director

" Creatives Shall Inherit the Earth "

John holds a BA in Studio Art, an MFA in Acting, and a Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education. John has worked as a professional artist, designer, writer, actor, and director around the world, and has spent the past 8 years teaching these skills in both Australia and China. In 2017, he conceived of and launched the DrawBag as both brand and product, based on the concepts shared in his talk.

Using his own startup company (The DrawBag) as a case study, John will show us how creativity and innovation in niche markets has opened new possibilities for business in a technologically interconnected world, and how you can generate original ideas for this market today! If you think of yourself as either uncreative or afraid to start a business of your own, John will inspire you to reconsider this and offer practical resources to go about generating new ideas and turning them into a reality.

Manya Xie

Spiritual Teacher / Zen Practicer, Manya Meditation

" Journey to Happiness "

Manya Xie is a spiritual teacher, zen practice and author of the book Journey to happiness. In this book, she shared her story how she healed herself from heavy depression and her journey of spiritual awakening. In 2014 she established a spiritual school Manya Meditation to share techniques and knowledge of spiritual awakening to help depression and anxiety people to heal themselves and abstain from medicine.

In Manya’s opinion, medicine and all kinds of medical treatment can respite depression and anxiety, but they can’t finally heal them. Because they are not physiological problem sbut soul problems. In this talk, Manya will share her own story and some tips about how to heal depression and anxiety from the root, how to keep in positive energy and how to live a peaceful and balance life.
