Pop!Tech 2008:
Scarcity and Abundance

October 22-25

For the twelfth year, the Pop!Tech Conference will again convene a network of 600 remarkable thinkers, doers, leaders and global change agents in science, technology, social innovation, business, environmentalism, globalization, media, education, and many other fields for a four-day exploration of ideas shaping the future.

This year, we will pay particular attention to the 21st century dynamics between systems based on scarcity and those based on abundance, in areas ranging from digital social networks to environmentalism, from biology to business, from peacemaking to politics. We’ll chart the core scarcities that humanity will face in this century, and how a wealth of new innovations, new bottom-up approaches to collaboration, and new insights into collective wisdom might hold the key to addressing them.

As always, there will be incredible performances, jaw-dropping technology demonstrations, spirited discussions, formal debates and surprises throughout. We will leave Camden with an inspired sense of our challenges, our potential, and the dynamics of positive change.

The conference begins with our special Wednesday sessions at 2pm on October 22, and ends late Saturday night with our thrilling, not-to-be-missed closing gala.

Unfortunately, tickets are becoming scarcer by the day – we invite you to see what others say about the Pop!Tech experience, and request a registration right away.  Be sure to check this page regularly for confirmed Pop!Tech '08 speakers and program updates.
