Join Boom Capital for our annual SF Deep Tech Week edition of Boom in the Forest. We're going big and it's going to be a Super Boom!

Boom in the Forest is our regular gathering of the most interesting people we know. This meeting of the minds is held 100% outdoors under a forest canopy, and happens rain or shine.

As always, the highlight is the Unconference where guests choose the small conversation that they join or lead. This is where you encounter the most interesting people and ideas in Silicon Valley in a choose-your-own conversation adventure. 

Discussions might range from biodiversity; how to raise a clone; how to train a humanoid; astrobiology on ice moons; protein folding advances; new material innovation; the bioethics of gene drives; feminist sci-fi utopias; ancient Roman cement practices; the ethics of nuclear; foundational models for biology; sequencing outlier population genomes; bioethics; and the mind-blowing ML advances happening now from the people who authored those papers.

• All guests must be cleared in advance of the meeting
• Event is off the record and Chatham House rules apply
• There will be check-in by name and forest security
• If you fly in, please let us know so we can suggest a stowaway

Off the Grid sends in one of their best food trucks and we have vegan and gluten free options.

Kids are welcome to join but must be supervised. There is a play structure at our site.

All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.

I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.

I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
