​The Future is Low-Tech: An intimate evening of ideas, conversation, and community

​Monday, August 3
6:30–8:30 PM
📍 Lodgewell – Graeber House

​A 20-minute presentation.
An open conversation.
A house full of curious people.

​This is an intimate evening built around one big idea.

​We'll begin with a presentation from Jesabel DC, whose talk "The Future is Low-Tech: Lessons From the Early 2000's" explores what today's technology can learn from the internet before feeds, notifications, and algorithms took over.

​Then we'll keep the conversation going...

​Instead of audience Q&A, we'll break into small living room discussions throughout the house to explore questions around technology, attention, design, community, and what it means to build a more human future.

​Think less conference. More house party for people who love ideas.

​Featured Presentation

​Fresh from Figma Config, Jesabel's presentation asks a simple question: "What if the future of technology isn't about adding more but designing technology that knows its place?"

​Together we'll explore ideas around:

​• the internet before algorithms

​• human-friendly technology

​• attention and digital overwhelm

​• what we should bring forward into the future

​Who's This For?

​This gathering is intentionally small.

​Most guests are being invited personally by the hosts, but we're opening up a handful of additional spots to meet a few more thoughtful people in Austin.

​If you're someone who enjoys big ideas, thoughtful conversations, and leaving with more questions than answers, we'd love to hear from you.

​Apply if this sounds like your kind of evening!
