COSM is an exclusive national summit on the converging technologies remaking the world as we know it. For decades, George Gilder has written presciently about the technological revolutions shaping our world, from the microchip in Microcosm, broadband in Telecosm, and the cryptocosm in Life After Google.
Cosm — the root of the English words cosmos, microcosm, and cosmopolitan — comes from the Greek word kósmos and means order, government, world, universe.
Held at the Bellevue Hyatt on November 9-11, COSM 2022 hopes to illumine the synergy between Seattle and the world in an emergent information theory of superabundance. Celebrating the surprises of human creativity, we will highlight the global tide of innovations from this pullulating pacific haven of leading tech companies. We will also examine threats to our continued dominance both here and abroad. Exploring the information theory that fuses apparently divergent technologies and conflicting empires, our mission is to acclaim the accomplishments, while reclaiming the values and virtues that made them possible.
What a world. From artificial intelligence to real bio-informatics, from 5G to 10G, and WiFi6, from wafer-scale chip architectures to the rise of graphene, from tokenized time to blockchain to a new time-price superabundance, from the “spatial web” to the efflorescence of space flight, it is all ascending in Seattle. We hope to meet the future with a celebration of human abundance and creativity.
