Pop!TechWe have less than 24 hours before the curtains go up on Pop!Tech, the annual ideas summit that brings together 500 big thinkers from around the world in Camden, Maine to discuss innovative ideas and projects that are changing the world. Just as important, the virtual curtain also lifts online to bring this extraordinary conversation to the world, and we’ve partnered with a fellow big thinker to make that possible.

We’re discussing “The Human Impact” this year to foster dialogue on the influence human beings have on the world and on each other, and new ways to measure humanity’s global impact. For the first time ever, we’ll be streaming live video of the Pop!Tech conference, courtesy of Yahoo!, so that individuals everywhere can listen in, take part, and join the conversation of such visionaries and experts as cognitive scientist and New York Times-bestselling author Steven Pinker, Grammy-award-winning R&B artist John Legend, healthcare pioneer Dr. Victoria Hale, and leading humanitarian Zainab Salbi, to name a few.

Here’s how you can take part:

  • Watch the streaming video starting Thursday through Saturday between 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM EST here. Submit your questions to the presenters and participants in real-time by emailing questions@poptech.org.
  • Answer the question: “What is the most powerful but underappreciated way we can shape the future?” on Yahoo! Answers. You’ll not only see your response side by side with PopTech presenters like John Legend, your response could be read on stage.

Making Pop!Tech accessible over the Internet marks a real shift in the nature of thought leadership discussions. So Yodelers, come join us online to take your seat at the table.
