Join Us at Vision Weekend Europe 2024 – Secure Your Tickets Now!

 

We are thrilled to invite you to Vision Weekend, the annual festival of Foresight Institute. Burst your tech silos, and plan for flourishing long-term futures in the beautiful Bückeburg castle in Germany from July 12 – 14. Come for the ideas: join the conference, unconference, mentorship hours, curated 1-1s, demos, 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

 

Who might I meet?

 

Keynote Speakers: Hear from renowned individuals like Jaan Tallinn (Future of Life Institute), Hendrik Dietz (Dietz Lab), Anders Sandberg (University of Oxford), Catalin Mitelut (NYU), Muriel Richard-Noca (ClearSpace), Nikolina Lauc (GlycanAge), Andrew Critch (Encultured), Joao Pedro De Magalhaes (University of Birmingham), Jeremy Barton, Toby Pilditch (Transformative Futures Institute), Matjaz Leonardis (Oxford University), Trent McConaghy (Ocean Protocol), Chiara Herzog (University of Edinburgh)  who will share their insights on key trends and future scenarios.

 

What experiences might I have? The choice is yours: You can either pick a path to progress highlighted by our presenters and deep-dive with them, or you can propose an entirely new path to progress in your domain of choice. To cool off from the cerebral parts of the event, we invite you to engage in interactive art, music jams, dance, yoga, and curated surprise experiences.
