We are all passengers on a spaceship with limited resources: our planet. An astronaut’s journey into space bolsters this realization through ‘the overview effect’ — yet unfortunately we cannot all experience this transformative moment. SpaceBuzz, a brand new concept from ESA astronaut André Kuipers, uses this as a premise to educate the world’s children, creating a generation of earth ambassadors in the process.
Big Spam, if you don’t know, is a sassy love/hate letter to technology that Georgina started in 2018 and handwrites daily. Besides delivering the most important tech news of the day, Big Spam has polls, disgusting GIFs, puzzles, puns, and, artist takeovers.
Basically, it's an experiment on how far we can twist what a newsletter is supposed to be, and in this talk Georgina will discuss all the horrific things we learned along the way. And also how you, our readers, are our cute, furry, and, probably diseased guinea pigs.
As a product leader at Google, Facebook, Strava, and more, Stephanie has dedicated her career to creating products and advancing technologies that drive social impact forward. She’ll share her lessons learned from building tools to aid in natural disaster response, expanding Google Maps across 80 cities, and launching over 100 voter engagement tools as CTO for Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.
Our universe is bizarre. Why is most of the cosmos composed of mysterious dark matter? Why is the Higgs boson so strange? Why do atoms exist? The hottest-and-latest in physics suggests that the biggest puzzles of science could be elegantly solved if our universe were one of a possibly infinite number of universes. But is this a testable scientific idea, or eternally speculative? How do we talk about what's outside our universe? Join Dr. James Beacham, of CERN's Large Hadron Collider, as he explores the edges of knowledge -- including CERN's plans for a colossal Future Circular Collider -- and how the future of science, technology, and innovation will be much wilder than we can imagine.
Instead of a utopian future in which technological advancement casts a dazzling, emancipatory light on the world, we seem to be entering a new dark age characterised by ever more bizarre and unforeseen events. The Enlightenment ideal of distributing more information ever more widely has not led us to greater understanding and growing peace, but instead seems to be fostering social divisions, distrust, conspiracy theories and post-factual politics. How have we come to this point – and has utopia gone forever?
Tech companies based in Europe are faced with challenges. With a heavy emphasis on regulation and lack of funding, the EU should place higher priority on incentivizing talent and startup growth. In order for Europe to gain notoriety as an innovative ecosystem, the tech industry should improve recruitment and tackle diversity issues.
Kicking off the TNW2019 Conference in Amsterdam, tech evangelist Guy Kawasaki shared a number of unforgettable pieces of wisdom from his life in the industry over the past few decades.
If you are creating a work of art in any area of your life, you are not going from a known point A to a known point B but you will invent point B along the way. Whether your “art project” is a business strategy, a crisis response, or a new technology, this all starts with asking the right questions.
Drawing on her book Art Thinking, Amy will leave us with better tools to explore all questions on how to integrate the practical and creative parts of ourselves.
