First videos posted, more details on Ignite DC 5 - The Future
Submit your idea for The Future now! -- Due Aug 15th!
Check out the first of our Ignite DC 4 videos, and subscribe to all the videos on iTunes (we release one per week).
We now have details on the next Ignite! Ignite DC 5 - The Future will focus on your 5-minute visions of the future.
No single person is likely to have an accurate, comprehensive vision of the future, but we think Ignite is the perfect format for sharing bite-sized predictions. It is our hope that those predictions, good and bad, will seed their own unique permutations in our minds, inspiring us to envision the future, and maybe even play a bigger role in creating it.
We're looking for talks which extrapolate or hypothesize a specific scientific advancement, policy direction, social norm, natural event, or new technology. We would prefer talks rooted in reality, which take creative license for the passage of time or unforeseen discoveries. Think of these like vignettes, tableaus, or flash futures. They can be delivered any way you like, but must make use of our 15-second-per-slide format.
At the end of this event, we'll be asking you for input on how these atomic visions of the future might be combined, and we'll share them as a map after the event.
