The progress movement has grown a lot in the last few years. We now have progress journals, think tanks, and fellowships. The progress idea has spread and evolved into the \u201cabundance agenda\u201d, \u201ctechno-optimism\u201d, \u201csupply-side progressivism\u201d, \u201cAmerican dynamism\u201d. All of us want to see more scientific, technological, and economic progress for the good of humanity, and envision a bold, ambitious, flourishing future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we haven’t had so far is a regular gathering of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announcing Progress Conference 2024<\/a><\/strong>, a two-day event to connect people in the progress movement. Meet great people, share ideas in deep conversations, catalyze new projects, get energized and inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosted by<\/strong>: the Roots of Progress Institute, together with the Foresight Institute, HumanProgress.org<\/a>, the Institute for Humane Studies, the Institute for Progress, and Works in Progress magazine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When:<\/strong> October 18\u201319, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where:<\/strong> Berkeley, CA\u2014at the Lighthaven campus, an inviting space perfect for mingling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speakers:<\/strong> Keynotes include Patrick Collison, Tyler Cowen, Jason Crawford, and Steven Pinker. Around 20 additional speakers will share ideas on four tracks: the big idea of human progress, policy for progress, tech for progress, and storytelling\/media for progress. Full speaker list<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees:<\/strong> We expect 200+ intellectuals, builders, policy makers, storytellers, and students. This is an invitation-only event, but anyone can apply for an invitation. Complete the open application<\/a> by July 15th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program:<\/strong> Two days of intellectual exploration, inspiration and interaction that will help shape the progress movement into a cultural force. Attend talks on topics from tech to policy to culture, build relationships with new people as you hang out on cozy sofas or enjoy the sun in the garden, sign up to run an unconference session and find others who share your interests and passions, or pitch your ideas to those who could help make your dreams a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
