THE NEXUS OF TRANSFORMATION & INNOVATION
The nexus of transformation and innovation
We are creating a game changing community at the intersection of Emergent Tech, Impact and Mindfulness. We're co-creating the next great gathering, informed by TED, World Economic Forum, Burning Man, Wisdom 2.0 & Summit Series - our vision is to have same type of high level, intimate, experiential gathering, to explore the edges of emergence, purpose and technology.
We launched our Reality Summit in the US at the Esalen Institute, birthplace of the human potential movement, which VRScout has called a "West Coast Davos". We continue to engage cross sector leaders to manifest our intent of developing a UN like community for the emerging technology industries as we expand our Summits to Europe with the kick off of our Eindhoven Summit.
Eindhoven, The Silicon Valley of Europe, welcomes Impact Reality Lab marking the emergence of a curated, galvanized community dedicated to exploring the marriage of global citizenship, entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and emergent technologies.
Eindhoven is an emerging tech giant Eindhoven is an emerging tech giant with the TU/e Technical university Eindhoven and established powerhouses Philips and ASML. It also boasts a vibrant startup scene with e.g. HightecXL and LUMO labs, and expertise in exponential technologies as home to Singularity U. We are honored to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Dutch Design Week as part of our program. Starting Oct. 19th, we will be leading a investor expedition to the Augmented World Expo in Munich and continuing to Eindhoven for Design Week to explore startup engagement and investment activities. A countryside castle will be the environment for this immersive experience running through October 27.
We are convening industry leaders in Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality, AI, Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies and associated emerging technologies. Geographically, we plan to curate for a cross pollination of participants from Asia and America with the European startup community and corporate participants.
PROGRAM COMPONENTS
The Impact Reality Lab will be part personal development/self-care, part cross industry deep dive, part thought leadership & network expansion, and outcome activation experience. We are designing it more as lab, personal and professional to explore human potential and collective impact. a snapshot of some of the content programming we are designing:
Mechanics of an Empathy Engine, The Coming Experience Economy, Perspective: Radical Inclusion, Exponential Tech Convergence, Consciousness Expanded: Neuroscience & Behavior Change, Cryptocurrencies & New Governance Structures, the Nature of Reality, Cause: Social Impact & 4Good Initiatives for Global Challenges, Culture Creation and Virtual Worlds.
Similar to our Reality Summit, the experience is based on the intelligence and experience in the room. This is neither a conference with keynotes and panels, nor a pure unconference or hackathon. Some of the modalities embedded in the experience include:
Collaborative Group Dialogue, Industry Research & Foresight, Individual Manifestation, Personal/Professional Netweaving, Initiative Accelerator, Mindfulness practices, experience Show & Tell, Social Experiments, Ignite Talks & UnConference.
CORE PRINCIPALS
the conference is also infused with a number of core principals. supporting conference attendees in an exploration of how the Reality Revolution and bourgeoning Experience Economy can be utilized as pathways toward the betterment of our humanity. Core principals and avenues of exploration include:
Social Impact: Social impact is a healthy bi-product of a successful and profitable venture - funds can then be directed or donated towards beneficiary endeavors. A venture designed from a place of presence can positively impact local and/or global societies through it’s day to day business model. As the economy evolves, these types of ventures – which marry a profitable model with the solution to our social challenges of the day – have a new foundation of electric support, rapid growth, and catalyzing impact.
Passion & Purpose: Our greatest power, deepest intelligence, and truest inertia emanate from within - attuning to these places of inner awareness is not only our most important journey but also unleashes our most valuable resources. If we cannot resolve our inward unrest, how can we ever find peace? We believe in work that supports us in discovery, choice, and alignment with our true purpose. Are we utilizing our potential to its fullest? if we have not stepped into the fullness of our truth and wisdom, is it likely our actions, ventures, leadership are ill founded on our own internal dysfunction.
Inspiration & Creativity: inspiration & creativity serve as both the spark, sustenance, and means with which we are able to ignite, achieve, and sustain the needed shifts in our personal lives, businesses, and society as a whole. Throughout the conference, we will offer a brilliant spectrum of events, programs, and activities focused on inspiring and awakening the creative potential of attendees.
Inclusion & Diversity: An essential focus of this conference is addressing, supporting, and elevating conversations around inclusion & diversity. Elements have been put in place through-out all of our events to open up a space and conversation capable of sincerely engaging these fundamental imbalances in our current society and economy. Inclusion & Diversity are both a social issues and as deeply personal issues: We will invite participants to confront, acknowledge, and address their own assumptions, patterns of unconsciousness, and latent fears. We are truly ready to step into a steadfast commitment toward supporting these needed shifts.
Balance, Longevity AND WELLBEING: If we allow ourselves to deplete to being empty cups, we have nothing left to pour out to others. Leaders committed to impact initiatives, those who love to give of themselves for the success of others, can easily into the age-old pitfall of burn-out, fatigue, and falling sick while working beyond their capacity. we endeavor to model what is possible in this new paradigm, it is essential that this model includes each individual’s health, vitality, and wellbeing. We are advocates and providers of valuable support in the fields of wellness, healthcare, longevity and self-care.
