[BNC-all] Fwd: Purdue 2050 Website, video summary

[Shakouri, Ali]

Dear All,

We had Purdue 2050 Conference of the Future just one year ago. It is amazing  how today’s world is different. We certainly didn’t anticipate that last September! I am sure that there will be many unanticipated events in years to come but what really shapes the future is human imagination which was the theme of last year’s experiential conference.

We now have a website where you can see a short video summary of the conference (main page) and the links to many of the talks (see speakers page):
https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/2050/index.php

If you didn’t get a chance to attend the event, I hope the videos will be a good resource.

Best regards,
Ali


PS. nanoHUB has processed first day’s talks (see below the program). They are still working on the remaining videos. They will be added to the above website in the next couple of months.
