Vision Weekend Puerto Rico 2025

Our Vision Weekends are the annual festivals of Foresight Institute. Held in two countries, over two weekends, you are invited to burst your tech silos, and plan for flourishing long-term futures.

Come for the ideas: join the conference, unconference, mentorship hours, curated 1-1s, tech demos, biohacking sessions, prize awards and much more. Stay for fun with new friends: join the satellite gatherings, solarpunk future salsa night, beach picnic, and surprise island adventures.

What’s this year’s theme?

This year’s main conference track is dedicated to “Paths to Progress”; meaning you will hear 20+ invited presentations from Foresight’s core community highlighting paths to progress in the following areas:

Then, it’s your turn during the unconference: You can choose from a menu of 20+ technology deepdives and lightning talks, covering AI self-regulation, d/acc, privacy, neuro x AI, and more – or you can apply to host your own session! After a whirlwind of breakouts, we unite again to compare paths to progress across technologies, and how we might step up as a community to support the leading paths. Get excited to win a $10k grant for the top Path to Progress.

Why join the Puerto Rico Edition?

In the heart of the Caribbean lies a vibrant island, with cobblestone streets winding through a town adorned with pastel-colored buildings and historic fortresses. Nestled within it, you can find Old San Juan, with captivating architecture, grand plazas, hidden courtyards, a scenic waterfront, and centuries-old churches to explore. At Vision Weekend 2025, this enchanting location will offer a touch of adventure to inspire a thriving future.
