Join IFTF at Real Future Fair
On November 6-7, 2015 join me at Real Future Fair to hear forecasts from our Food Futures Lab about how technologies—from virtual reality headsets to synthetic biology—might change how and what we eat in the next decade.
Real Future Fair brings you stories about the people and technology that are shaping our future. Join us for a day of performances, audience experimentation, live journalism and thought-provoking dialogue to experience and see technology unlike ever before. Fusion Editor in Chief Alexis Madrigal brings his acclaimed newsletter to life with in depth interviews, culminating in a cocktail party where robots mix all the drinks. Come meet the people changing our world.
