What is a “dangerous” idea? It’s one that upends conventions, challenges assumptions and breaks taboos, reordering our sense of the world and our place within it. It’s an idea, as Victor Hugo said, whose time has come.

Pop!Tech 2006, our 10th anniversary gathering, will again bring 500 extraordinary people together with more than 30 speakers, performers, iconoclasts and visionaries to think about the social impact of new technologies and the future of ideas. Here’s just some of what we’ll be discussing:

• The nature of risk in the connected age
• Bright green possibilities
• Globalization’s great surprises
• The role of faith and fundamentalism
• Pandemics and their prevention
• New approaches to education
• The creative imperative
• New frontiers of exploration
• What technology wants from us
• Our constructed selves
• Conflict, resolution and the possibility of peace

Like every Pop!Tech, the 2006 event will feature a rich mix of presentations, performances and one-of-a-kind surprises. Be prepared to be wowed.
