*If you go there and it's just a speculation about a possible future conference, don't come cryin' to me

PRIMER is a one-of-a-kind design conference that was created to prepare you for the future. We are gathering designers, strategists, thought leaders, architects, and educators to share their work and processes to prime us for the challenges and the opportunities the future may hold. PRIMER isn't your typical design conference. It's a conference focused solely on Speculative Design. Speculative Design may include many other categories such as design fiction, critical design, discursive design. You're likely to hear presentations on emerging technologies such as autonomous cars, biotech, synthetic biology, international economies, social/cultural/environmental impact, design ethics, and business strategy and foresight. PRIMER's aim is to highlight important topics that provoke a design response but to also inspire thinkers and makers to use futures design thinking as a method to develop new agendas for communities, businesses, and governments to strategize and align themselves economically and sustainably for the future as it arrives. PRIMER is a project by the Speculative Futures meetup group based in San Francisco, CA. The group serves as a platform for speculative design work and offers training workshops for futures design methods and strategies.
