AGENDA:

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

SAT 10a-2p | Block 1: Natural Systems Talks @ MIT

What is at stake on Planet Earth? The beauty and brilliance of natural systems on this planet are under great stress. How can we notice, engage, protect, build empathy for that natural world to ensure its survival (and our own)?

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

SAT 2-6p | Block 2: Natural Systems Talks @ MIT

What does it look to cooperate with nature instead of control and commodify it? Can we reinvent incentive structures to make it viable (even profitable?!) to restore and support nature in our careers, cultures, and communities?

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

SAT 6-8p | 10x10 Workshop + Reception @ MIT

Audience will be invited to breakout with the speakers after the Main Stage program to help kick start dialogues and brainstorm next steps to amplify the talks presented on stage. Come mix and mingle and mindshare with the TEDxBoston community.

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

SUN 10a-2p | Block 3: Human Systems Talks @ MIT

How do human systems--our institutions, utilities, innovations--intervene in the natural world under pressure? Amazing technology and systems thinking innovations are on the cusp of transforming human life on the planet.

2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

SUN 2-5p | Block 4: Human Systems Talks @ MIT

What is required to fundamentally reorganize around collaboration with--rather than consumption of--nature. How can we design human systems better?
