DAY 1 THE FUTURE OF HEALTH • WELLNESS • MEDICINE
From personalized medicine and advances in brain research to human-centric technologies and legalized cannabis, the health landscape is evolving at a dizzying pace. With dozens of breakthroughs on the horizon, and recent innovations already causing revolutions in the industry, the ways we give and receive care are dramatically changing every day. What do the leading researchers see that gives them pause—and hope? How can we bridge the gap between science and pop culture? How do unexpected factors influence our wellbeing? Join us for conversations with Dr. Penny Heaton, CEO, Bill and Melinda Gates Medical Research Institute; Udit Batra, CEO, MilliporeSigma; singer-songwriter Ruth Pointer of the Pointer Sisters; CTE researcher Dr. Ann McKee.

DAY 2 THE FUTURE OF WORK • DATA • ROBOTICS
What role will robots really play in our society? Will they take our jobs, or open up new avenues for creativity and innovation? How is artificial intelligence already shaping culture, and how can we use it to create a more equitable world? How can we harness data for good? Join us for an engaging series of conversations with technologists, scientists, futurists, activists, and robotics experts, including Chief Technologist of Amazon Robotics, Tye Brady, and Co-Founder and CEO of iRobot, Colin Angle.

DAY 3 THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY • ENERGY • CITIES
How do we continue to foster the wide-ranging innovation coming out of our communities? What steps can we take today — in climate resilience, mobility, public policy, and more — to create the world we want to see? How do we stay human in the face of increasing digitization? Hear from designers, innovators, and mobility and climate experts answering these questions, including former U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power, New York Times Columnist Maureen Dowd, and three powerhouse leaders and innovators from the MIT Media Lab: Neri Oxman, Pattie Maes, and Rosalind Picard.
