MEET OUR SPEAKERSMost recorded sessions will be available for future viewing by registered participants. In 2021, we heard from two longtime makers and innovators!
![]() Jeff Hoefer, KEYNOTE SPEAKER Jeff's career spans almost four decades in working with some of the top design firms and companies in Silicon Valley. Graduating with an art degree, Jeff’s career started as a model maker in 1980 at Atari, moved into master surfacing and rendering in the early '90s working at Lunar Design, then joining the Apple ID group. He became head of Hardware Design at Google and currently is the head of the Digital Imaging Team for Google Brand and Hardware. Jeff's experiences over these years have taught him the high value and power of visualization, starting at the early stages of product development, and how to leverage those assets through to packaging and marketing of products. "My career has been heavily influenced by my model making experiences and the value of concepting and creating for designers and consumers over the years," Jeff says. He is a very special speaker this year, as he is one of the founding members of the APMM!
Chris Stanley, FEATURED MODEL MAKER Chris is a resident of the Seattle area and is currently actively participating in the Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN) where the organization "uses craft as a magnet to bring together people who would not normally know one another or have opportunities to collaborate."
At each and every Conference, our speakers aren't just lofty-minded innovators or industry leaders (though they often have been!), they are real makers who understand the value of the process of making. Because makers gonna make.
