What’s up?
POPTECH30:Civil is about making a leap of faith to fill the possibility gap. You’ll never know if you aren’t there! Hurry – Leap!
What’s more fitting for an organization founded 30 years ago to explore the impact of technology on society than to ask questions:
Why do we exist? Hakeem Oluseyi
Are we on the cusp of AI extinction or possibility? Moran Cerf, Paula Goldman, Matt Mason
Can we discover life beyond our planet? John Mulchaey
Who gets to invent the future? Sarah Rose Siskind and Roya Mahboob
How do we reset the global free speech deficit? Jacob Mchangama
Or shape stories about who we are and how we create a desired future: Gabo Arora, Lisa Witter, Jason Green, Romain Vakilitabar, Raj Panjabi
Understand the imprint of human creativity through music, science, wonder: Zoë Keating, Martha Mooke, Andy Carne, Hari Pulapaka, Lakshmi Rengarajan
And how about an interactive tech demo as a Final Act? We get to play with and help co-create a new tool developed by Imogen Heap and Andy Carne to help artists mark their work in the era of AI. You probably won’t hear about Auracles for a while, unless you come to PopTech.
Come co-create with us!
