Science & Technology of Feedback

Feedback is one of the most fundamental elements of human communication. When and how feedback is given influences its results. From interpersonal interactions to human-machine feedback systems, our communication with each other and with technology is changing. Increasingly, our devices are taking on social roles.

With a broad range of topics we’re seeking to create a sense of the horizon questions – creating a big picture of emerging innovations in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and giving participants an opportunity to talk with each other about our latest questions, insights, amazements.
