ABOUT

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 Villa in the Berkeley Hills.

SCHEDULE

Vision Weekend US 2022 Schedule
Vision Weekend France 2022 Schedule

PROGRAM

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 future of Existential Hope.

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