Speakers of Innocracy 2020
Candid conversations about our shared future deserve a range of perspectives. We listened to and engaged with voices stemming from Japan, Georgia, Wales, and dozens of other places around the world. Framed by their work in the arts, technology, civil society, politics, and academia, these thought-leaders discussed their own visions for our future.
