Reason's 1st Annual Dynamic Visions Conference
Exploring creativity, enterprise, and progress

Print PDF form

February 12-15, 1999 (President's Day Weekend)
Santa Clara Marriott, Silicon Valley

Come hear a lineup of cutting-edge thinkers explore the new vision that is transforming how we understand nature and culture, law and custom, politics and economics, art and technology. In each of these areas, independent but parallel developments have overturned the ideal of a carefully balanced static equilibrium, replacing it with a vision of dynamic, open-ended evolution. At the First Annual Reason Dynamic Visions Conference, speakers and attendees will examine what this new perspective means for our ideas about creativity, enterprise, and the human future.

Speakers include:

  • Daniel Botkin, George Mason University, author, Discordant Harmonies
  • Richard Epstein, University of Chicago Law School, author, Simple Rules for a Complex World
  • Charles Paul Freund, senior editor, Reason
  • James K. Glassman, American Enterprise Institute, columnist, Washington Post
  • Mike Godwin, Electronic Frontier Foundation, author, Cyber Rights
  • Grant McCracken, author, Plenitude and Culture and Consumption
