​For over 30 years, Vision Weekend has brought together frontier researchers, builders, and funders building better futures through science and technology. And this will be a big one: with Foresight turning 40 this year, Vision Weekend USA will be our main anniversary celebration in the United States!

​We're marking it with everything Vision Weekend does best: talks on frontier science and tech, unconference sessions, lab tours, 1:1 connections, tech demos, and experiences you won't find anywhere else. Venues include the Internet Archive, Lighthaven, The Fold, and more. Plus a VIP pre-party aboard the USS Hornet and a $10K grant for the best frontier project pitch.
