🌍 Engineers, innovators, and technologists
🌍 Educators, scholars, and systems thinkers

🌍 Anyone curious, inspired, or “not sure what they’d contribute yet,” but ready to be part of something big
Calls for Proposals are OPEN
We welcome submissions in:
🌍 Panels & roundtables
🌍 Workshops & interactive labs
🌍 Installations, performances, & immersive art
🌍 Prototypes, models, & design science explorations
