What to Expect
Collective Future is hosted in the “unconference” style – a participant-driven format that focuses on interaction and conversation. There are no formal presentation or panels. The day is structured around a series of group discussions on topic areas generated by the interest of the participants. We’ve always found that the most interesting conversations at conferences happen in the hallways between sessions, so this gathering showcases them.
40+ Mind-Expanding Sessions
The topics of discussion are determined on the day of the event, but will be broadly centered on entrepreneurship, technology, public/private partnerships, culture, and how we can ensure that Boston retains its reputation for innovation for decades to come.
Open Minds, Off-The-Record Conversations
We are encouraging people to have productive conversations that will be kept off-the-record. The goal of this gathering is to make new connections, not break news.
Discussion > Slide Decks
You won’t be listening to pre-canned talks that you could hear on a podcast. Our curated guest list featuring the leaders or today and tomorrow ensures that everyone has something interesting to say and the format of the event is focused on connecting people with similar interests.
Meet Experts in Bytes, Bills, Bites, & Beats
Collective Future brings together people from a wide range of entrepreneurial endeavors – from software to science to statecraft. Creative cross-pollination leads to some of the best new ideas and future actions.
