For people with cool projects they'd like to show off at the Cre8 Summit in Shenzhen China, there is a possibility for a free, all-expenses paid trip.  Check out the info, below, and if you are interested, please contact me off-list, and I'll connect you to the organizer of Cre8 Summit.
 
Best,

The event will have ~25 makers and hackers
from China, Japan, and US presenting their projects in a public
expo, which is expected to have ~15,000 attendees. The first day will
be keynote speeches followed by a public display of all the projects
the attending teams are working on. These will be things involving
drones, VR, EEG systems, etc. The second day has talks focused on
education, creativity, and the role China will play in the future of
innovation, followed by a networking event for attending teams,
manufacturers, and whoever else wants to participate (this part won't
be open to general public). The last two days feature tours of
Shenzhen companies for the visiting teams.

Our informational website is here, which has our list of speakers:

We have a strong set of teams based around virtual reality, EEG systems 
and artistry/making. We currently have a small contingent for robotics and 
internet of things, and we're looking to fill a couple last spots there. 

We're able to provide full accommodations and plane tickets for teams with 
very cool (accessible + interesting) demos in these areas, and we're open to 
having a team from another area not mentioned above.
