About This Event
Join OCTO for an engaging evening exploring how our daily encounters with machine systems—from public transit and healthcare to digital platforms, workplaces, cities, and AI-powered tools—quietly influence behavior, decision-making, and the future of technology itself.
Through a panel discussion featuring leaders across design, technology, research, and innovation, we'll examine how people adapt to, resist, and reshape the systems around them. Together, we'll explore what these interactions reveal about human needs, emerging opportunities, and the role of design in creating more thoughtful and inclusive futures.
But this isn't just a panel; attendees will become part of the discussion through a facilitated audience dialogue, sharing experiences, perspectives, and ideas that can help inform the next generation of products, services, and systems.
Enjoy food, drinks, and networking with fellow designers, technologists, community leaders, and curious thinkers while contributing to a lively exchange about the relationship between people, machines, and the future we are collectively creating.
Whether you're a designer, entrepreneur, student, technologist, policymaker, or simply interested in how technology shapes everyday life, you'll leave with fresh insights, new connections, and a deeper appreciation for the hidden ways human experience drives innovation.
