Program for the Future Conference

An Invitation to Innovation. An interactive conference inspired by Doug Engelbart's vision of harnessing technology for human betterment. The quest continues ...

The 1968 DemoEngelbart dreamed of technology and tools that increased our Collective Intelligence and gave us a stunning example of how it works.  Now it's up to us to take up the challenge.  To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Engelbart's astounding demo, the Program for the Future is bringing together some of the best minds in science, media, business and education -- and we hope you will be among them -- to explore the question: what's next? 

At the PftF Conference on December 8 and 9, we heard from some of today's most provocative speakers and collectively brainstormed ways to enhance our capabilities for problem solving, decision making, knowledge organization, and planning in every field of human endeavor.
