SEPTEMBER 26 - 28, 2012

Sleeping Lady Resort Leavenworth, Washington

Set in the foothills of the majestic Cascade mountains, the 1 Conference brings together a community of global thought leaders and innovators to explore the ideas, trends and technologies that will impact business and society over the coming decade - and what they mean for our collective future.

Conversations, not keynotes.

Unlike a traditional conference, at 1 there are no talking-head keynotes, no break out sessions in poorlylit conference rooms. The program is built around a series of ten interconnected conversations, each a deep dive into one big idea explored through a series of short, dynamic presentations with speakers from multiple perspectives and experiences. Our aim is to understand where the ideas of the future are emerging and how they will catalyze change in individuals and society. Participants of 1 come from richly diverse backgrounds: they are business leaders, designers, educators, artists, technologists, scientists and social entrepreneurs. Each is pushing the boundaries of their industry, developing the ideas, technologies and businesses that will shape the future over the next decade and beyond. The setting is equally inspiring: held at the awardwinning Sleeping Lady mountain resort (about 90 miles northeast of Seattle), it is the ideal backdrop for disruptive ideas, deep connections and seeing the big picture.

Behind the headlines and cover stories proclaiming that the world is experiencing massive, transformational, ever-accelerating change, is a simple (often-ignored) fact: not all change is created equal.
We live in an age of unprecedented technological sophistication in which wars are fought with high tech proxies and sequencing a genome costs less than buying a new car yet nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. The tension between the fast flame of science and technology breakthroughs and the often lurching, uneven progress of social change is the focus of our 2012 theme: Cracking the Change Code. Over two days of presentations, conversations and special sessions, well dispel the myth of one-speed change and explore this current Age of Extremes through the lens of 1 disruptive ideas that are shaping business and society.
