Theme: Chrysalis

The day’s presentations and performances will be organized into four sessions, around the theme of radical transformation.

I: STORYTELLING
We will explore the transition "from Fantasy to Reality," the realization of dreams, the dialogs we tell ourselves and others, and how they relate to the overall design of our perception.

II: SECRET PASSIONS
In the discussion "from Private to Public", we'll hear presentations from innovators in technology, entertainment, design, business, and philanthropy - sharing their inner struggles and achievements.

III: ZEROES AND ONES
After lunch, "from Analog to Digital" we explore ways that technology has changed the things we see and the things we hear - from inharmonic audio spectra to finely tuned architectural constructs.

IV: UNEXPECTED DISCOVERIES
Finally, "from Out of the Blue," presenters will share the process and experience of serendipity - individuals who set out down one path and ended up in an unrelated place.
