Unleash Imagination 2020 Clarke Conversation on Imagination:

Crises and Renewal

Moderated by former NASA Astronaut and Air Force Colonel, Dr. Cady Coleman

November 12, 2020

9 AM PACIFIC • 12 PM EASTERN • 5 PM LONDON • 6 PM GENEVA

Registration is FREE; Donations are Encouraged!

Register before October 1st and learn how you can submit a question* to our impressive panel of 2020 Arthur C. Clarke Awardees as they reexamine and re-imagine our possible futures:

We celebrate imagination.

But we often fail to consider the conditions that allow imagination to flourish and to be an active resource for communal conversation to use imagination as a means for understanding and renewal in our public dialogue.

In our present moment of crisis, we turn to imagination to comprehend our “now” and what could be “next.” The COVID-19 pandemic has affected and upended life nearly everywhere, throwing into high relief our collective social and economic strengths and weaknesses. Piling onto these unprecedented challenges in the U.S. and elsewhere are cries for eliminating systemic social and racial inequities.

And throughout these crises, we continue to bear witness to what Arthur Clarke warned us as “our planet crying out” for us to listen and take action to stem global warming. In crises of this scale and impact, imagination becomes a lifeline from the world we knew to one that we want to make better.

But Better How?

Imagination—forward-looking imagination—becomes a vital tool to think through our values, our technologies, our social and political arrangements, our inter-dependencies at home, and with peoples in distant places.

Join us online for this one-hour live, interactive video event, moderated by Dr. Cady Coleman, featuring these three 2020 Clarke Awardees:
