The spirit of innovation is central to Camp North End, a 75-acre historic industrial site which once manufactured Model Ts and US Army missiles, and is now transforming into a creative hub in Charlotte’s North End Smart District. This inaugural event will showcase the best of this ambitious redevelopment project’s 1.3 million square-foot campus, underscored by the convergence of its history and future: cutting-edge technology demonstrations in the iconic Ford Factory, digital installation art throughout WWII era Army buildings, live music performances under the rusty water tower, presentations and collaborations led by local, national, and international artists and thought leaders, all with an emphasis on design, technology, and the creative process.
