Our winter 2010 symposium will be held February 15th through 18th in Santa Clara, California. Thanks to the gracious hospitality of Applied Materials, the symposium will be held at their Santa Clara Site.
The theme will be Work 2020, an exploration of what work, including work practices, technologies and workplaces, will look like in the year 2020. This date was chosen as sufficiently far enough into the future for meaningful changes of the larger context of work, such as higher energy costs, dramatic improvements of computer and communication sciences and technologies (CCST), and shifts in world demographics, to take effect, and yet close enough to be able to reasonably predict their impacts on work. Trends and impacted categories of work were reviewed during the September 24th Tertulia, and a core team will research and prepare work scenarios in time for review at the symposium.
The Symposium will kick off with a reception on Monday, February 15th at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner. Locations will be announced.
