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

The 1968 Demo:
Engelbart dreamed of technology and tools that increased our Collective Intelligence and 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?

On December 8 and 9 we'll hear from some of today's most provocative speakers, then brainstorm ways to enhance our capability for problem solving, decision making, knowledge organization, and planning in every field of human endeavor.

Featured Speakers

* Professor Thomas Malone, Founding Director, MIT Center for Collective Intelligence
* Professor Hiroshi Ishii, Associate Director, MIT Media Laboratory
* Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google
* Andries van Dam, Professor, Brown University
* Alan Kay, President, Viewpoints Research Institute
* Steve Wozniak, co-founder, Apple Computer, Inc.

December 8
- Speakers and Workshops on collective intelligence at The Tech Museum of Innovation, 201 South Market Street, San José (map). In keeping with Engelbart's vision of mass collaboration, this event brings together many communities -- education, business, nonprofit, social, political and technology. The day will end with a special tour, led by Peter Friess, President of The Tech Museum, through Leonardo: 500 Years into the Future, the largest exhibition of da Vinci's engineering, anatomical studies and art ever to visit the United States.

December 9- The morning program at Stanford University's Wallenberg Hall (map) is a Call to Action to organize ourselves to move forward to harness the collective intelligence of our community.

In the afternoon, SRI is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Engelbart's legendary "mother of all demos" at Stanford's Memorial Auditorium (map). We hope you will join us for that event as well.

The Future- The Program for the Future will also launch a global competition for new tools that improve Collective Intelligence. This competition will run for one year, and winners will be on display at The Tech Museum and the MIT Museum.
