Explore the Future of your Business at the Future Space Conference on Nov 16 in Vienna, Austria
IFTF will be presenting at the The Future Space Conference in Vienna, Austria, on Monday, November 16.
In turbulent times it’s becoming obvious that the future is unsecure and holds many surprises…and opportunities. To seize these however, your company needs to change: The way it does business, the way it thinks about success, the way it develops new businesses, the way it interacts with employees, customers and its stakeholders. The question is how to do so?

Mobile Health Conference, Day 2 (Part 1)
My disclaimer of the moment is that I am not very comfortable with live blogging. But I am going to take a stab at it right now. The conference's afternoon session is underway, and Mani Pande has just provided us with an overview of innovations in mobile health in the global south. Paul Meyer, co-founder and president of Voxiva, is talking about how his company approaches the delivery of health information solutions, including data collection and analysis.

Mobile Health Conference, Day 1
Wow! With the disclaimer that this may be a biased opinion, I have to say that the first day of our conference on "Reinventing Health Care in a Mobile World" was a great success. My colleagues, Rachel Maguire and Anthony Townsend, set the context for thinking about how mobility and technology are coming together to form the basis for the future of mobile health. Miriam Lueck and Jason Tester explained how we created and executed HealthRaising, our month-long immersive experience that used text messaging to promote health-related goals and raise our collective health score. They then welcomed Eric Holmen (Smart Reply) and Kara Chanasyk (Stanford's Persuasive Technology Lab) to the stage for a discussion about how people respond to this type of mobile persuasion.

2008 Ten Year Forecast conference
The Institute's 2008 Ten Year Forecast conference is going on today at the Mission Bay conference center. The center is part of the new UCSF Mission Bay campus, which is a pretty extraordinary piece of city redevelopment. It's also a very fitting place for this year's conference, as we're talking about innovations in biology and ecology, sources of new economic value, and the development of "amplified humans"-- all things that are happening here.

Conference on the future of social science
One of the things I've started paying more attention to since starting the X2 Project are announcements for interesting conferences that deal with some aspect of the future of science. There's an interesting-looking workshop this summer on "Challenges and Visions in the Social Sciences" at ETH Zurich:
the workshop aims at identifying future trends in the social sciences, and problems that will have to be addressed.
