Vision Weekend USA 2024
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, demos, prize awards and much more. Stay for fun with new friends: join for the satellite gatherings, cyberfuture dinners, tea services, costume closets, interactive art, secret dance parties, and surprise experiences.
What’s this year’s theme?
This year’s main conference track is dedicated to “Paths to Progress”; meaning you will hear 10+ invited presentations from Foresight’s core community highlighting paths to progress in the following areas:
- Long-term History & Flourishing Futures
- Longevity, Rejuvenation, Cryonics
- Molecular Machines, Computing, APM
- Neurotech, BCIs & WBEs
- Cryptography, Security & AI
- Energy, Space, Expansion
- Funding, Innovation, Progress
Now, the choice is yours: You can either pick a path to progress highlighted by our presenters to deepdive on with them, or you can propose an entirely new path to progress in your domain of choice. After a whirlwind of breakouts, we unite again to compare paths to progress across technologies, explore what we can learn across domains, and how we might step up as a community to leverage opportunities and mitigate risks in the years to come.
We want to hear from you: we invite all participants to propose an unconference topic, a demo, or a creative contribution in the onboarding form that is sent out post registration. You will be notified when your proposal is selected.
