Agenda


Keynote Sessions

Time 2.0 — Applying Design Thinking to the Human Experience of Time

Time, as we experience it, is not linear, yet why do we pretend that it is? How do we measure the true value of our time? In this mind-bending session, John K. Coyle will apply creative deconstruction to what we think we know about time, and you will learn how to slow, stop and reverse the perceived acceleration of time most adults feel and experience the endless summers of youth again.

Grab a seat and learn how to:

  • Understand the forces that govern experiential time
  • Discover actions you can take to manipulate your perception of time
  • Design your life to create intense and memorable experiences that expand time
