What if an interface wasn’t just 2d? Virtual light sources, realtime shadows, an emphasis on clean typographic layouts with rich animated touch feedback! But my app is lovingly HOLO! What now? How can we transition, should we and when? Join a discussion amongst some great App design minds. We'll figure it out in an open discussion.

** SUBMIT YOUR #MATERIALDESIGN **

In anticipation of the discussion why not contribute your material designs? We will be printing out and sharing some of material design inspiration and examples from social networks which are marked with #materialdesign. Take one of your existing apps or reimagine something entirely! Post to any public channel with #materialdesign we'd of course appreciate your drawing our attention to these in the comments.

** WHERE TO SUBMIT? #materialdesign **
We will be monitoring these social networks:

• Twitter (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23materialdesign&src=typd)
• G+ (https://plus.google.com/explore/materialdesign)
• Dribbble (https://dribbble.com/search?q=material+android)
• Pintrest (http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=material%20design%20android)

Add #londroid to make sure we see it! Mostly we are observing #materialdesign as a hashtag. On dribble and pintrest we add 'android' to ensure relevant results.
