Singularity University (SU), the aspirational and inspirational educational benefit corporation with a remit to ‘educate, inspire and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies to address humanity’s grand challenges ’is to hold two events this month that encompass 3D printing: Exponential Medicine, Sunday November 9th through to Wednesday 12th; and SU Summit Europe on November 19th and 20th.
Exponential Medicine will be a gathering of innovators from across diverse clinical fields to explore the rapidly accelerating progression of technologies for health and medicine. To quote: ”Technological breakthroughs are emerging from the intersection of various exponentially growing fields: Where 3D printing and stem cell biology meet, we see a new organ regeneration industry emerge; where cloud computing, microfluidics and artificial intelligence intersect we witness the creation of the Star Trek medical Tricorder.”
The 2014 Exponential Medicine program includes no less than Peter Diamandis of XPRIZE, Planetary Resources & Human Longevity, UCSF’s Laura Esserman, uBiome’s Jessica Richman, Synthetic Genomics’ Craig Venter, and Google’s Ray Kurzweil. The full, packed faculty of world leading medical professionals, biomedical founders, health innovators and industry executives is at the formal schedule that also features workshops, demos and time for networking at the Hotel Del beachfront, San Diego, California.
SU encourages innovation through technology via annual Global Impact Competitions, held in partnership with local organizations in over forty countries worldwide. SU LABS is SU’s accelerator where Singularity University launches companies that will impact the world of tomorrow. Breakthrough ventures have been formed at the Exponential Medicine event in the past, such as Scanadu — Qualcomm XPRIZE Tricorder competition finalist and contender for the $10million incentive prize to help place a handheld multi-functional medical computational device, in afforementioned Star Trek style, in the hands of health professionals, today.
Topics for presentation and discussion include a pertinant range of technologies that are advancing medical practice and patient engagement at an exponential rate such as: mobile health, big data analytics; artificial intelligence; 3D printing; robotics and the internet of things. Prime topics also include how trends for personalization, gene therapy and regenerative medicine will change approaches in prevention, diagnosis and therapy.
There are still places available for this foremost meeting of innovators, the event will likely appeal to clinicians across the medical spectrum, from full time clinicians to academics looking to understand the global trends, disruptive technologies in medicine and healthcare; inventors & innovators involved and interested in innovation to develop novel solutions and improve current approaches; plus medtech & biopharma executives and investors who will receive insight into the formost technological trends and their ramifications in the marketplace and beyond.
Will Weisman, Singularity University’s Executive Director of Conferences said: “Exponential Medicine is a core element in SU’s conference series and the caliber of participants and speakers that we gather make this a truly remarkable and must-attend event for clinicians, inventors, technologists and senior leaders in healthcare and medicine.”
You can find out more about the event at the Singularity University website and register at the dedicated Exponential Medicine website.
The second forthcoming SU conference event that will feature 3D printing will be at the Summit Europe in Amsterdam. The event will be a complete overview of all disruptive innovations and exponential technologies by the world’s leading ten experts in those domains. It will also include the official European launch and presentation of the book Exponential Organizations – the first book published by Singularity University Press – including topics such as design thinking and scaling organizations internally and externally.
The featured speaker for 3D Printing will be Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise, graduate of SU, and experienced consultant. Mr. Wegner has presented at highly notable recent events such as 3D PrintShow London and 3D Publishing Conference. Also Andre has written for 3D Printing Industry: You can find his authorship here.
The vibrant schedule will also feature no less than nine hundred European level executives, entrepreneurs and policy makers; a keynote by Peter Diamandis of XPRIZE; prime international speakers such as John Hagel of Deloitte Center for the Edge and Daan Roosegaarde of Studio Roosegaarde with first time presentations of their new projects; plus SU core faculty members such as Rob Nail, Salim Ismail, Daniel Kraft and David Roberts.
The event will be hosted at the colourful DeLaMar Theater, one of the newest and most modern event locations in the Netherlands.
