A One-Day Ideas Festival
November 7, 2026 | Studio 615
What does it mean to be human in an age of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and unprecedented technological change?
Future Human is a one-day festival of ideas, music, and conversation exploring the qualities that technology can never replace.
Over the course of an afternoon, you'll experience TED-style talks from extraordinary thinkers, live music, immersive experiences, and opportunities to connect with some of Nashville's most curious minds.
Unlike a traditional conference, Future Human is designed to create conversations—not just consume ideas.
Following the festival, guests may choose to continue the experience through hosted dinners at select Nashville restaurants, where guided discussions bring the day's ideas to life in small groups.
Whether you're interested in AI, creativity, consciousness, leadership, relationships, or the future of society, Future Human is for people who believe the most important questions deserve thoughtful conversation.
