The Overhang Forecasting Conference
The Overhang is a two-day conference for forecasters, rationalists, futurists, and optimists! Join us for programmed talks, relaxed breakout sessions, and community-driven unconference space throughout the weekend.
Who we are: Sparrow Institute is our new nonprofit building a bridge between the San Francisco Bay and Washington DC. We’re hosting this to ask our community of forecasting enthusiasts, at the outset of great social change, what does Washington DC need to know and how can we help communicate this?
We hope you’ll join us for a weekend of intense discussions, crazy shenanigans, and joy! We hope some moonshots come out of this weekend’s convergence.
Your ticket includes:
access to the conference,
lunch and dinner Saturday,
lunch Sunday,
beverages throughout,
and an afterparty Sunday evening.
Location TBA near Dupont Circle, Washington, DC. Last year’s Manifest x DC was bursting at the seams. This year’s event is two days, with three times the capacity.
Speakers and Schedule: TBA. Attendees are encouraged to pitch and plan side events and smaller sessions.
Attribution: All participants are bound by Chatham House Rules — you may not attribute statements to participants unless that participant affirmatively opts into an on-the-record discussion.
Media policy: Sessions may be recorded with the ongoing consent of onscreen participants. Participants may share photos from the conference — use normal courtesy. Journalists and bloggers are welcome to attend in their personal capacity. Press passes will not be provided.
Come join us at The Overhang — the view’s nice from here.
