​Join Boom Capital for our SF Deep Tech Week edition of Boom in the Forest.

​​Boom in the Forest is our regular gathering of the most interesting people we know. This meeting of the minds is held 100% outdoors under a forest canopy, and happens rain or shine.

​As always, the highlight is the **Unconference** where guests choose the small conversation that they join or lead. This is where you encounter the most interesting people and ideas in Silicon Valley in a choose-your-own conversation adventure. 

Discussions might range from biodiversity; how to raise a clone; how to train a humanoid; astrobiology on ice moons; protein folding advances; new material innovation; the bioethics of gene drives; feminist sci-fi utopias; ancient Roman cement practices; the ethics of nuclear; foundational models for biology; sequencing outlier population genomes; bioethics; and the mind-blowing ML advances happening now from the people who authored those papers. 

• ​​All guests must be cleared by email or text in advance of the meeting

• ​​Event is off the record and Chatham House rules apply

• ​​There will be check-in by name and forest security

• ​​If you fly in, please let us know so we can suggest a stowaway

​Kids are welcome to join for the woodworking class and possibly the Beetle Lady.

​All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

​I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
