Programming at LabWeek

LabWeek is hosted alongside Edge Esmeralda which is structured as a giant unconference.

We seeded the schedule with many sessions and activities to get things started, but the real magic is when you all arrive and start forming workshops, discussion groups, running clubs, babysitting groups, and beyond together on the ground. See details below on how to contribute to the programming.

FAQ

Collapse all

All events are optional?

Yes! This is a choose-your-own-adventure event, so please choose the events, sessions, arrival and departure dates, and activities that are interesting and relevant for you. A bunch of us are actively working on putting together a fantastic schedule. Please jump in to help make this thing a thing that helps you.

Can I host an event?

Yes, absolutely! We encourage anyone to host events during LabWeek. Here’s what’s involved:

Identify a topic that you know a thing or two about, and think others should care more about. There is a wide variety of topics you can pick from, such as AI, Neurotech, VR/AR, and more.
Recruit folks you collaborate regularly with to help shape the content of your event.

You will have total control over the structure of your event. Morning of talks & afternoon of discussion? Go for it! Required reading before attendance? Sounds great. Add your event to Social Layer and we’ll see you there!

I'm in! How do I register for LabWeek events?

Great! Check out the schedule, and register for any events that you’re interested in. Each event is independently managed, and may have different policies for ticketing and registration. We invite you to join as many events as you are able to.
