​We welcome builders, hackers, scholars, researchers, and lifelong learners to join us for a meetup in Austin to share ideas on how to build a fantastic future. We believe that many of the hurdles blocking technological progress are failures of will and imagination a la J. Storrs Hall. Our goal is to create a community that will host the first How to Build the Future Conference in Austin later this year or early next year.

​In our first meetup, we’ll reflect on and discuss the following question: How can we unblock innovation to create a future with greater prosperity, freedom, creativity, and adventure? 

​This is an in-person meetup. Register on this page to attend.

​Date: Thursday, June 20, 2024

​Location: Austin, Texas. Venue TBA.

​​​Questions: Email us at buildthefuture2024@gmail.com
