From: To: "Jeffrey E." <[email protected]> Subject: hi + Near Future Summit Date: Thu, 09 Feb 2017 01:06:36 +0000 F - came to this last year.... You can ask her about it. I'm writing to invite you to the 2017 Near Future Summit an intimate, solutions-focused invite-only conference founded by my good friend Zem Joaquin. Zem asked me to reach out to anyone engaged in developing a paradigm-shattering, world-changing solution. Naturally I thought of you. To get a sense of the kinds of presentations given at Near Future, you can check out these condensed 2-minute videos from NFS 2016. I'll keep this email brief so as not to inundate you with details, but I will say that Near Future, which takes place March 15- 17th in glorious La Jolla, CA) really sets itself apart in a number of ways — with only 250 invited guests, the attendees are passionate inventors, investors, entrepreneurs and media working on world positive solutions to some of today's trickiest challenges. This creates a unique opportunity for stimulating conversations to turn into concrete actions and fruitful partnerships that extend far beyond the Summit itself. Zem also likes to say that Near Future "curates for kindness" — and that's definitely true. Near Futurists are a welcoming and riotously fun group, and the intense brain-strain of the conference's days is matched by the otherworldly parties at night. I really hope that you can join me.
