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 forecasters and rationalists: at the outset of great social change, potentially the beginning of infinity — what does Washington DC need to know? 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.
