The event’s aim is to initiate a challenging, vital network-wide experience. The event is designed to bring together attendees from diverse disciplines and experiences. We want this event not only to celebrate 50 years of building our network but also to help us design where we want to be in the next 50 years. This will be both an outcome of design thinking and a sector manifesto. This event is neither a festival or a conference. Rather this is the culmination of the 35 international celebrations for our 50th anniversary. We are crossing industries, fields and boundaries in order to make deep intentional experiences. Registration Required. Limited Space Available.

Arrival Peripatetic Conversations by The Exploratorium Convening attendees are invited to join in one-on-one conversations initiated by open-ended questions. The power of slowing down to contemplate and express your own ideas and then in turn, closely listen to the perspective of your conversational partner will help set an empathetic tone for subsequent activities. Participants will make individual selections of cards containing several key questions on themes relevant to the Convening. The suggestion to walk (peripatetic) during the conversation is to help support the sense that any conversation can be a journey and exploration of ideas and new perspectives. The activity was developed by Claire Pillsbury, Program Director, and Kirstin Bach, Program Manager, Center for Art & Inquiry in collaboration with Marina McDougall, Founding Director, Center for Art & Inquiry (staff and of the Exploratorium).
