Subtle Technologies Festival

Throughout four days of presentations, we aim to cover a wide variety of subjects. People who have attended the festival remark that although the individual topics at the festival are extremely interesting it is often the unexpected threads that are woven between the various presentations that make the festival a unique experience for presenters and audience members.

The programming of the symposium is shaped by the submissions of each year and is meant to broaden the scope of disciplines or areas of research for those who attend. In the past, topics addressed have included quantum physics , quantum computing and other unconventional computing technologies, music, dance, neurology, imaging technologies, holography,animation, genetics, sonic explorations, sensing systems and devices, social systems, complexity theory, and artificial intelligence.

We encourage demonstrations, and can accommodate / provide technical support for almost any type of presentation.

All past presentations are archived on our website. We strongly urge those interested in submitting a proposal to aquaint themselves with our history of programming.

Criteria:
The festival is open to the public and presentations must be accessible to a non-specialized audience.Each presentation must fill 40 minutes, followed by a ten minute question and answer period. It is strongly recommended that parties interested in submitting a proposal visit our archives at www.subtletechnologies.com to get better idea of our programming.
