In just a few weeks on May 3-4, 2012 in New York City, we'll be presenting Behance's fourth annual 99% Conference, two days fully focused on exploring the mechanics of making ideas happen. We've curated an incredible speaker lineup for 2012, and it's going to be an absolute knockout event.
For those of you who won't be joining us live, we'll be rolling out loads of awesome coverage during & afterwards, including a firehose of tweets from @the99percent, podcasts and stories from WNYC's Radiolab, illustrations from Wendy MacNaughton, and, of course, videos of all the 20-minute speaker talks.
In the meantime, we compiled a shortlist of quotables from the past three years' worth of 99% Conferences to get into the idea execution spirit.
