ChicagoWorld

An annual gathering for the next Renaissance.

ChicagoWorld brings together people across technology, art, community, ecology, philosophy, psychology, sport, nonprofit work, entrepreneurship and culture.

Not to attend another conference.
Not to be told what the future will be.
To encounter one another and help shape it.

ChicagoWorld: Robo-Padel

Where the next Renaissance meets on the court.

Sport creates something remarkably useful:

Common ground.

On the padel court, titles disappear.

An entrepreneur can play beside an artist.
A roboticist can meet a gardener.
A nonprofit leader can meet a futurist.
A DJ can meet an engineer.
A human can even share the court with a humanoid machine.

Robo-Padel is not a robotics demonstration.
It is a ritual of encounter.

The humanoid robot does not represent machines replacing humans. It represents a new participant entering human civilization, and our responsibility to determine how that relationship develops.

The ChicagoWorld Mix

Because the future belongs to all of them.
