Amplify 2011

Overview

AMP's AMPLIFY Festival began as an experimental think-fest in 2005 and is now a celebrated biennial treat bringing the world's top thinkers in innovative technologies together for one hell of a chin-wag. The theme for this year's festival is "Everything Connects" — an exploration of the interconnectedness not only of emerging technologies themselves, but also of the nature of their impact on our world. In this new world order, information and how we get it is constantly changing before our very eyes. It is also radically transforming how we think, what we see, how we relate socially and the ways in which we conduct our business.

The AMPLIFY 2011 line-up is as extensive as it is impressive: we have Obama's technology policy advisor Prof. Mike Nelson, the inventor of Wi-Fi Dr. John O’Sullivan, and key players from MIT's Centre for Digital Business and the Deloitte Centre for Edge Innovation Dr. Andy McFee and John Hagel respectively. Natalie Tran, video blogger extraordinaire will be there, as will founder and director of the Zero Emissions Research Initiative Gunter Pauli, and too any other great minds and future-shapers to mention. This is literally a genius-fest.
