There will be a number of lighting rounds on different technologies sectors covering AI/AGI, AR/VR, Biotechnology, Space, Wearables and personal technology and much much more.

Also at this event there will be a tour of the Hall labs and some of the elements of the Evolution of Personal Technology Showcase and Device Bar maintained by the conference show casing everything from watches to cybernetic implants or just to plug in your project. The Technology Showcase will be donated to the the Eternity Library by the Foundation when it gets its location in the Utah area.

Some of most exciting equipment that is part of the bar is the actual cybernetic implants, HoloLens, tDCS, and numerous other great wearable technology displays showing our deeply personal relationship with technology.
