2023 Engineering Ideas Institute: Imagining the Future
September 25-27, 2023
Boulder, Colorado
Artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, climate change and extreme weather events, advances in genetic and biological science, shifting global geopolitics, the new space race, the long tail of COVID, rising income inequality and poverty traps, and escalating cybersecurity threats, imperatives for social and environmental justice — how will the intersection and interaction of these forces, and more, play out in the future? How should the engineering community respond to fulfill its role as stewards of technology and nature on behalf of society? What can the engineering community do today to influence how the future might unfold?
This year’s provocateurs — thought leaders in exhibition design, responsible tech, infrastructure equity, and more — will challenge assumptions and stretch imaginations as participants collectively create and use scenarios to explore the future of engineering.
Learn more about the provocateurs, pre-event required and recommended reading, and virtual follow-up sessions below.
