Strengthening the spiral of technoprogressive trust
Which aspects of the technoprogressive programme are the most distinctive and urgent? Which new legislative policies most deserve to be championed? What strategy should we follow, to increase the chance of strengthening a growing community of trust, that in turn causes significant real-world change? How should the programme be branded? Which bridges with potential allies should be prioritised? Which blindspots may we be overlooking? And what are the landmines that could derail the positive progress we anticipate?
These are examples of questions likely to be discussed in this gathering of the extended London Futurists community in Ye Olde Cock Tavern in Fleet Street, from 6pm onward on Thursday 22nd October.
This meeting is a follow-up to the two-day event that was held on 19-20 September, The Technoprogressive Opportunity, but people who couldn't attend that will be welcome - as will newcomers.
Provocateurs and catalysts
Lead provocateurs and catalysts for our discussion will be announced nearer the time.
Schedule
5:30pm: The room is available for early get-togethers
6pm-6:15pm: A chance for everyone to order drinks and socialise
6:15pm: Pre-ordered food will be served (don't be late for this!)
6:20pm (approx): In parallel, we'll encourage everyone to introduce themselves to the group, and to briefly share what's on their mind relevant to the themes of the event
6:40pm (approx): A mix of formal and informal conversations, including breaks to visit the bar
8:30pm: Optional informal networking continues
This meeting is free to attend, but...
There's no charge to register or attend, but the pub will expect everyone to order at least one drink, and at least some of us to order some food to eat.
Food pre-orders
The kitchen at the venue has limited capacity and can become busy. The venue therefore asks that attendees at this meeting who wish to eat should fill in this Form in advance (by 2pm on the day before, at the latest).
Food ordered in this way will be brought to you at 6:15pm.
If you place any food orders manually at the bar, on the evening, you may be told there will be a long wait.
No remote access, sorry
Note that this is an in-person meeting, and there will be no remote access, sorry
If you change your mind about attending
If you register to attend but later change your mind, for whatever reason, please update your status to "Not coming", to assist the organisers in planning the event.
Another way to register
As an experiment, registration for this event is available both here on Luma and on this Meetup page.
(This will provide an opportunity to compare the two platforms.)
