The New Serendipity?
Description
Serendipity is a fuzzy idea, but it's having a powerful effect on our lives. Tools help us create ideas faster, networks help us connect more easily, and data helps us to discover new patterns. Serendipity is not blind luck - it's the loose product of passion, insight, and proximity. It's an important part of creating new technology, start-ups, music and media.
This panel will gather personalties who have had their lives transformed by this idea. Together, we'll discuss the principles that will help the audience move toward serendipity.
