Plutopia 2009
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Founded by Derek Woodgate of The Futures Lab and Jon Lebkowsky of Social Web Strategies and, formerly, FringeWare, “Plutopia is a futurist think tank that produces events,” says event producer Maggie Duval. “The word ‘plutopia’ came out last year as we were thinking about pluralist utopias - bright green alternatives to apocalyptic and dystopian visions. We didn’t want just one idea; we realized there are an infinite number of possible futures and outcomes, and they might all be realized, depending who and where you are. This event is designed to explore those potential scenarios on a local to global scale.” And for those who are just looking for a great party, she adds, “this all comes with lots of truly glorious music and many opportunities for social engagement.”
