The Summit: We Imagined and Hoped—and We Can't Wait for Next Year

We have unending gratitude and appreciation for the energy, openness, and kindness of the Artificiality community who gathered for the Imagining Summit in Bend. 

We explored the blend of synthetic and organic worlds, intimacy, spatiality, knowledge, consciousness, minds, kids & the future, inclusion, art & music. We learned, challenged, wandered, and wondered. We sparked new friendships and deepened old ones. We feasted, shared stories, listened, and laughed. 

We are grateful beyond words for this extraordinary (over sold!) group taking a risk with us—trusting that we would give everything we have. We are inspired and overwhelmed. 

And we are already planning next year’s Summit! Please pencil in October 21-23, 2025—we'll be selling tickets soon!

Thank you again to our sponsors—Oregon State University-Cascades, Bast AI, Wiqi.ai—and our partners—House of Beautiful Business, DXM, Bend Entrepreneur Lab.
