Pop!Tech is an annual conference in Camden, Maine, a community of remarkable people, and an ongoing conversation about science, technology, and the future of ideas.
This three-day summit explores the cutting-edge ideas, emerging technologies, and new forces of change that are shaping humanity’s collective future. The conference brings together 500 visionary thinkers in the sciences, technology, business, design, the arts, education, government, and culture.
Nestled between presentations on a variety of subjects are musical performances, short films, demonstrations, and other surprises.
The anthropologist Margaret Mead once said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” For the past decade, Pop!Tech has been building and inspiring just such a community of committed change-agents. It’s a network that stretches from Maine to Silicon Valley, from Tanzania to Tilonia, India.
Increasingly, the Pop!Tech staff has been working to share the insights from Camden with new communities throughout the world—through books, television, live satellite events, and more.
Pop!Tech was founded and is still supported by a team of volunteers. The Pop!Tech network works because it is so eclectic—it includes visionaries from many disciplines, as well as corporate leaders and entrepreneurs, global participants, educators, and even students. It’s not merely a community of elites but an open and grounded dialogue between people on both the giving and receiving end of change.
