About Vision Weekends

 

Our Vision Weekends are the annual member festivals of Foresight Institute. Held in two countries, over two weekends, top talent across biotechnology, nanotechnology, neurotechnology, computing, and space are encouraged to burst their tech silos, and plan for flourishing long-term futures.

This year, our global community are invited to gather:

  • Vision Weekend Europe | November 18 – 20: at Chateau du Feÿ, Villecien, a laboratory for the future disguised as a stunning 17th century castle, 90 minutes outside of Paris.

  • Vision Weekend US | December 2 – 4: at the Internet Archive in San Francisco and Sunday’s afternoon sessions at the Bird House in the Berkeley Hills.

As usual, both events will come with VIP assemblies at a few surprise locations for our Patron donors.

What to expect

 

Expect engaging discussion on topics including cryonics, DeSci, private ML, computational biology, LEV, space exploration, BCIs, WBEs, AGI, foundational science funding, rejuvenation, molecular nanotechnology, chemputing, computer security, prediction markets, charter cities, and more.

  • On Day 1 we’ll take stock of the tech stack of today (and tomorrow).

 

  • On Day 2 we’ll shape those default tech trajectories toward futures of Existential Hope.

 

Come for the ideas: make friends across disciplines, generations, and continents who are similarly on the path to creating positive futures. Join panels, focus groups, mentorship hours, tech demos, sign-ups, and more. Additionally, stay for the festivities: breakfast boogies, mentorship hours, goal-setting jams, art vernissages, rocket company tours, and plenty of time for calm reflection; alone, or in groups.

If you would like to better understand what happens at our Vision Weekends, please feel free watch the videos below, and explore the Vision Weekend 2021 speaker lineup.

Vision Weekend 2022 will be unlike anything you’ve seen so far… We hope you will join us!
