How are Innovation Ecosystems evolving and revolutionizing civic collaboration?

UIX Global, in partnership with our title sponsor, The City of San Leandro, is pleased to invite you to the Prototyping the Future Conference & Expo, at the Zero Net Energy Center in San Leandro, California. Prototyping the Future will explore the frontier of how breakthroughs in technology and community engagement are shaping the development of gigabit cities in the near future. You will be exchanging ideas with fellow tech and social innovation thought leaders, and enjoying a compelling day of networking, workshops, and hands-on experience.

Technology is evolving at exponential rates, accelerating as we move towards the proliferation of gigabit networks. This evolution, combined with a focus on experiential design and the explosion of entrepreneurship and maker culture, is quickly becoming the defining factor in innovation ecosystem development. Everywhere you look, businesses and institutions are in radical transformation, and new industry sectors are rapidly forming. In our cities, we are seeing moves towards increased experimentation, public/private/civic partnerships and a strategic desire to attract creative culture.

The conference experience has been designed to give participants a “sneak peak” into what the cities of the future might look like; showcasing the technologies that are helping them take shape, and introducing some of the pioneers that are leading the way. Below are some of the topics and thought leaders we will be engaging:

  • 3d/4d printing/Advanced Manufacturing
  • Business Apps for Broadband
  • Internet of Things
  • Experience Design
  • Future of Healthcare
  • Experimental Cities
  • Future of Education
  • Collective Impact Design Charette
  • Sustainable Architecture

  • Duleesha Kulasooriya – Head of Strategy, Deloitte Center for the Edge
  • Espen Sivertsen – CEO, Type A Machines
  • Michael Ventura – CEO, Subrosa
