Vision Weekend - Foresight Institute

SEE EVENT DETAILS
A good vision is a map that helps us navigate toward the future we want.
Our maps have stopped working. Let's fix them!

The Vision Weekend is not a conference. It's a gathering dedicated to take stock of the most compelling ideas of today, turn them into coherent visions for a better future, and getting to work on them.

Saturday: Keynote panels at Gray Area.

Panels include:
Long-term thinking: So Much To Do, So Little Time
Blockchains: Master Key to Unlock The Future?
Artificial Intelligence Timelines: Safety First
Longevity: Reaching Escape Velocity for Life-Extension
The Brain: The Next Frontier

Speakers include:
Joon Yun, President of Palo Alto Investors, Founder of Longevity Prize
