Registration for Purdue 2050: Conference of the Future
by Shakouri, Ali 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Dear BNC Colleagues, I would like to invite you to participate at “Purdue 2050: Conference of the Future” as part of Purdue University’s 150th anniversary on September 26-27, 2019. This is an ‘uncommon conference’ where participants will have an immersive experience in futuristic technology that should appear in 2030 to 2050. The primary objective is to organize a conference, as it would happen in the future. The conference will include a series of sessions designed to explore emerging technologies through the lens of critical issues such as privacy and community development. Sessions include: * Future of healthcare. Featuring Peter Embi, president of Regenstrief Institute, healthcare professionals (Burns -CSO Cerner and Chopra -CEO RadiantHeart), a leading cancer researcher (Matei) and her patient (Gubar), a well-known IU author and cancer survivor, * Supriyo Datta, will introduce Quantum Technologies to general public as taught in 2050. * Deborah Wince-Smith, President and CEO of the Council on Competitiveness will talk about Age of Illumination and some parallels with historical development in Renaissance. * Talks on Future of Manufacturing and Factories by Michael King, President of LHP Data Analytics and IoT Solutions, as well as Jan-Anders Mansson co-director of IMI (Indiana Manufacturing Institute). * Keynote talk on Digital Privacy by Alessandro Acquisti, a well known social scientist from Carnegie Mellon University * Talks on Smart Affordable Housing by Gary Hobbs (BWI) and on Discovery Park District 2050 by David Broecker * Presentations by Anna Ridler, an artist from London, who has an exhibit at Purdue Galleries on Art and Artificial Intelligence; as well as Purdue’s Anne Fliotsos on International Telepresence Theatre * Student Design Competition focused on Data and Business Analytics in collaboration with Krannert School of Management The conference room of the future at Honors Hall is designed in collaboration with Purdue’s Department of Art and Design. Students from Jan Allebach’s group will demonstrate video analytics of participants' facial expressions. This will provide real-time feedback to the speakers and audience, helping evaluate how new ideas are received. Exhibitions include Digital Borneo, immersive sounds from 100 million years old rainforest prepared in collaboration between Bryan Pijanowski’s Center for Soundscape Engineering and the newly developed transparent and flexible speakers fabricated by Miko Cakmak’s group at the Birck Center; Plasmonic Kaleidoscope/ Mandalas -a collaboration between Sasha Boltasseva’s nanophotonics researchers and a local artist, etc. Finally, Purdue Chef has designed a Special 2050 Menu for each of the meals. This won’t be a standard conference food! I hope you’ll join us on September 26-27. Registration is required; the cost is $40 for students, $100 for staff/faculty and $200 for outside participants. If you have special guests from outside Purdue, please let Pankaj Sharma know. We have a limited number of discounts at staff rates. Please register, no later than Sept. 18th. More information may be found at https://www.purdue.edu/dp/2050. Best regards, Ali Ali Shakouri Mary Jo and Robert L.
