Take action: at Vision Weekend, there are no spectators.
You’ve sat through future-oriented conferences before: lots of talking with a little Q&A at the end—if you’re lucky. At Vision Weekend, you take the future in your hands: we kick off with your active input on Saturday in the breakout sessions, where you mix with topic experts and help craft goals and plans. Since you can only do a couple of these deep-dives in one day, on Sunday we bring everyone together, and report on the work that has been done across different tech fields, with the help of our Synthesists. You will be able to hear and comment on the progress made by all breakout sessions. Panels will discuss tech risks, interdependencies, and steps toward our ultimate visions for better futures.
Find the role you want to play in the future.
Whether by joining a strategy session related to your current work, or enrolling in a discussion on a technology field you plan to enter, this is your opportunity to get into a serious deep dive with experts, leaders, and all those who wants to create a better future. Vision Weekend is a very special opportunity to discover, explore, and act.
Exercise your creativity tools to their fullest extent.
Join us, speak up and weight in the future. Bring your demos. Bring your most ambitious goals for the best future you can reasonably imagine. Most important, bring your sharpest intellect, because this event will stretch your ability to its utmost—it’s time to steer the world away from technological dystopia and toward Existential Hope.
