Thank you to all those that attended. Looking forward to see you in the new year.

Progressing cutting-edge research, emerging technology, solutions for the advancement of humanity, on this planet and beyond.

Backdrop: As we continue to advance discovery, and exploration we will explore the unique problem sets that come along with humans in deep space.

The summit will showcase organizations, research, and technologies that will usher in new paradigm shifts of the human experience. The advances in energy, computing, transportation, robotics, and life sciences will enhance human capabilities and ultimately pose the question: How will the human species not only survive but thrive in deep space>

The Summit: Once again, we are bringing together an elite group of researchers, change-makers, entrepreneurs, investors, sponsors, artists, industry leaders, innovators, and special operators. Our invitation is to those who are leading the exploration in human potential on earth and beyond. Your experience will inspire dialog and activate creativity that rarely arises within the confines of traditional workplace roles and boundaries.

The Black Lab Human Experience Summit is purposefully curated to create meaningful connections spanning a diverse, cross-functional cohort of influential people, businesses, and technologies Our mission is to build, and grow, a community that is vested in designing, creating, and impacting the future on earth and in space to benefit all humanity. 

Outcome: The Black Lab Human Experience is purposefully curated event designed to bring together a select group of Thinker Doers and problem solvers. Our intention is to provide an interactive and engaging experience that will cultivate meaningful relationships that catalyze equally meaningful work. Our team is excited to produce a summit to enable multiple research projects, investments, ventures, and collaborations as a direct result of the discussion and interactions within this unique group of experts, industries, and perspectives.

We are positioning our community to be at the forefront of how humans live and thrive, no only at home, but in deep space as we establish a cosmic residency. We invite you to join us in leading, designing, and creating the future of impactful change.

THEMES

“We were hunters and foragers. The frontier was everywhere. We were bounded only by the earth, and the ocean, and the sky. The open road still softly calls. Our little terraqueous globe as the madhouse of those hundred thousand millions of worlds. We, who cannot even put our own planetary home in order, riven with rivalries and hatreds; are we to venture out into space?

By the time we are ready to settle even the nearest other planetary systems, we will have changed. The simple passage of so many generations will have changed us; necessity will have changed us. We are… an adaptable species. It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths, and fewer of our weaknesses; more confident, farseeing, capable and prudent.

For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness. What new wonders undreamt of in our time, will we have wrought in another generation, and another? How far will our nomadic species have wandered, by the end of the next century, and the next millennium?

Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds through the solar system, and beyond, will be unified, by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that, whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the universe, come from Earth. They will gaze up and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was, how perilous our infancy, how humble our beginnings, how many rivers we had to cross, before we found our way.”
