<h1>Under the Radar: Context, Controversies, Cooperation</h1><p>Go to <a href="https://foresight.org/vision-weekend-2019/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">our website for the most up-to-date program and speaker list</a>. </p><p>We invite a group of individuals whose thinking we now need more than ever to direct our attention to a crucial idea that is flying under the radar. Ideas are presented and discussed on Saturday and opened up for prototyping on Sunday. The future is a collaborative effort, and it should be fun: To encourage cooperation at scale, we invite our favorite organizations as advisors into the mix and allow plenty of time to enjoy our beautiful setting, connect with old friends and make ones. If that’s still not enough, there’s always the Patron ticket to join Saturday’s Thank You Gathering for speakers, advisors, and patrons.</p><h2>Saturday, Nov 2, 9 am – 6 pm @<a href="https://archive.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Internet Archive</a>, SF</h2><p><strong>CONTEXT</strong></p><p>Invited thinkers provide context on their alternative take on approaching humanity’s greatest challenges. If you could focus your energy, time, and effort on one thing, what would it be? </p><p><strong>CONTROVERSIES</strong></p><p>Each talk is opened up for discussion, led by a panel of three fellow speakers, followed by questions from participants. Why is or isn’t this idea worth throwing our heart at? </p><h2><a href="http://thelaundrysf.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Sunday, Nov 3, 9 am – 6 pm @<a href="http://thelaundrysf.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Laundry SF</a></h2><p><strong>COOPERATION</strong></p><p>The choice is yours: either follow your favorite speaker into one of the many parallel sessions to explore yesterday’s ideas in-depth or make your way to the lightning talk room where other participants put their ideas onto our radar.
