SOLD OUT • ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

This event is full. Join the **[WAITLIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/waitlistlessstresspress)** and we'll let you know if a place becomes available. A special event to share the creative practice of zine making 💭✍️✂️🎨📖 IN A NUTSHELL, zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. You will soon be able to see some of their zines [here](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress). They’re excited to share with you! **IN THIS WORKSHOP, we will:** * Introduce the practice * Share some examples: brief history of zine making, LessStressPress examples * Get to know each other’s interests * Brainstorm using collage and scribbles: get into a low stakes, creative headspace * Use a template to plot our zines: 2 covers and 6 pages of content * Design our first zines (everything is possible with analogue materials, but if you love digital design, bring a laptop) * Sharing circle * **Optional finale:** * Visit the print shop visit together * Print copies of our new zines * LESS STRESS PRESS Pop Up: hand out copies of our new zines to strangers :-) **BY THE END OF THE DAY, we'll have** * learned a new practice to spark creativity and clarify thinking * met a new group of people and learned about the things they care enough to make a zine about * had some thought provoking conversations * produced our own original zines, ready to share :-) **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:** Although we’ll be learning a new practice we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable day, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a relaxed hang out in a café with an additional creative twist. **WHO SHOULD COME:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas. **WHERE WE'LL MEET:** We'll be meeting in a beautiful little creative studio in Stoke Newington. The exact address will be provided to attendees directly. **[SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/)** \- newsletter and reflections **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcSICl49X509EFdGBo3hKg)** \- stay in the loop **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress)** \- see what we look like \(content coming soon 😅\) **[WEBSITE](http://www.alltogether.one/)** \- everything else **#creativity #inclusivity #openmindedness #creativepractices #community #newskills #zinemaking**

The Technoprogressive Opportunity

The Technoprogressive Opportunity is a two-day in-person conference in Central London (SE1), organised by the IEET and London Futurists, on the subject of "The future of ethics and emerging technologies". **Brief description** We live in a time of dramatic changes in the capabilities of technologies. Political and social norms are being disrupted as never before. The future is deeply uncertain. Humanity faces a bewildering mix of risks of catastrophe. But we also have the potential to transition to a new state of civilisation – a new relationship with technology and the environment – featuring unparalleled increases in all-round flourishing. In this state of confusion and turmoil, how can society reach the wisest decisions about which technologies to encourage and which to constrain? How can society ensure that these decisions are followed in practice, rather than being ignored or subverted by powerful short-sighted forces? How can a technoprogressive coalition grow in strength, as a decisive counter to existing worldviews which are more likely to leave humanity diminished, fragmented, or even extinct? These are the questions at the heart of the technoprogressive opportunity. **Registration** There will be no charge to attend, or for morning and afternoon refreshments. **Important: RSVPs on this Meetup page have been closed, in order to consolidate all registrations on a single tool, namely Luma.** To register, please visit Luma: [https://luma.com/bk22gy6s](https://luma.com/bk22gy6s). **Themes** Speakers are being invited to address themes such as: * Trust and democracy in the wake of AI * Technologies for collaboration * Politics and human enhancement * Abundance: Creating it, sustaining it, and sharing it * The techlash as a catalyst for profound change * The Technoprogressive Declaration, 12 years later * Beyond the Green New Deal: global health and technological justice * Society as a Service – assessing the Network State * The impending Economic Singularity: myth or reality? * AI misalignment: how bad could things get? * Regulation in the era of augmented capabilities * PostCapitalism and PostSocialism * Progressive politics if there’s no working class * Escaping from Moloch: avoiding the race to the bottom * The Longevity Dividend: making it real * Alternative banners: Transhumanism, Vitalism, Ecomodernism, or what? * From Cold War 2.0 to a new world order? * Ethics: by whom and for whom? * Lobbying for better policies: dos and don’ts * Concrete next steps in building the technoprogressive coalition **Venue** The conference will take place in [the LSBU Hub](https://www.lsbu.ac.uk/about-us/the-hub), part of London South Bank University, which is a short distance from London Waterloo, London Bridge Station, and London Borough Market. Address: 100-116 London Road, SE1 6LN. We’ll be in the Southwark Lecture Theatre. Note that this is an in-person event. All speakers will be giving their presentation in person, at the LSBU Hub venue. There will be no live-streaming from the event - although all presentations will be recorded and subsequently uploaded for wider viewing. **Speakers** This conference brings together leading thinkers from technology, economics, politics, philosophy, sustainability, and futures studies. Together they will explore both the opportunities opened by accelerating technology and the institutional and political changes needed to ensure those opportunities benefit humanity. Rather than discussing emerging technologies in isolation, the speakers will examine how technological possibilities might interact radically with economics, politics, institutions, culture, and the planetary environment. For their individual biographies, see [https://londonfuturists.com/forthcoming-meetings/the-technoprogressive-opportunity/speakers/](https://londonfuturists.com/forthcoming-meetings/the-technoprogressive-opportunity/speakers/). **Schedule** The conference will run from 9:30am to 5pm on the Saturday and from 10am to 5pm on the Sunday. It will include networking time as well as presentations and dialogues. For more details about the schedule, see [https://luma.com/bk22gy6s](https://luma.com/bk22gy6s).

Navigating the Designer-AI Dilemma

We're back after a ridiculously long pause. For reasons, somewhat directly and indirectly to do with the topic of this event. How we are adapting ourselves, or need to in this strange age of AI. *Tickets are refundable if you request at the end in line with [our policy](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1011q0yqUr8qN0SWZauZnf2hdHyJLE1kITWW9A0IH0U0/edit?usp=sharing).* **Session overview** Designers face a dilemma: AI is reshaping how decisions get made and work gets done, but the stories around its benefits are polarized. What is authentic vs synthetic? Extreme points of view don't help you day to day. They keep you wrapped up in debates about process while the actual work still needs to get done, and the question around quality and value stay in question. In this session, Jason and Vic explore what's real: which skills stay irreplaceable, when AI genuinely saves time vs. when it wastes it, and how to build capability that keeps you relevant without losing what makes you valuable. Jason and Vic will walk you through frameworks, data, and exercises, that help you examine where you need to adapt, what to keep, and how to make decisions grounded in reality, not hype. Expect debate, and practical lessons, not cheerleading. **[Jason Mesut, Resonant Futures](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonmesut/)** Jason Mesut has been a local leader for IxDA alongside Boon Chew for IxDA London since 2011. He works as a strategic consultant, a creative coach and as a shaper of designer capability through his Shaping Design work. He has 30 years of design behind him, and is questioning what the next 3–30 years ahead might look like for him, his clients and his peers. **[Victoria Lee Kirk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriakirkstrategy?skipRedirect=true&miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAD__wABvtUfrJ9mn2hLf1EPZN9ssWJcNyw)** Vic is a tech strategist, writer, and a TEDx speaker focused on turning data into meaning and bias into belonging. She helps teams ask better questions about their customers, their process, and themselves. She led user research that piloted an AI assisted service to map global supply chains within the UK government after lockdown and helped turn the tool and its consulting service into a standing business function, demonstrating how good people and better questions, not just better tools, actually create value. She joins IxDA London to explore where human intuition still outperforms AI in the design process, and where it doesn't.

Making AI work: Platforms, models and choices

There are more ways to build and run AI than ever. The harder question is which choices actually make it useful at scale. Join Sean Blanchfield (Jentic) and Danilo Poccia (Nearform) for two practical perspectives on the technology behind production AI. Sean will explore the emerging platform architecture helping enterprises move beyond disconnected PoCs and enable employees to build, use and share AI agents and skills. Danilo will look at the rise of open-weight models, how capable they’ve become, and when running and customising your own models makes sense. Together, they’ll cover the platform, infrastructure and model decisions shaping how organisations put AI to work. Pizza, drinks, and practical AI insights included. SPEAKERS: **Sean Blanchfield, Co-founder & CEO, Jentic** *The arrival of the multi-user agent operating system* Some enterprises are accelerating with AI while others still question whether it’s helping at all. Sean will look at how leading organisations are moving beyond disconnected PoCs and point solutions to build in-house platforms where employees can work with AI, and build and share their own agents and skills. He’ll examine the emerging architecture making this possible, and why getting the platform right matters far more than MCP. Sean is CEO and Co-founder of Jentic, where he is building sovereign AI operating stacks for enterprises. A serial entrepreneur and engineer, he previously co-founded Demonware, the multiplayer technology company behind Call of Duty, acquired by Activision Blizzard. **Danilo Poccia, AI Solutions Director, Nearform** *We love open source. What about open-weight AI models?* Open-weight models are getting smaller, more capable and easier to run yourself. Danilo will look at where they stand today and what they offer around data residency, latency, customisation and cost, including how to run them on your own infrastructure. Danilo is AI Solutions Director at Nearform, where he helps organisations turn emerging AI capabilities into practical solutions, with a focus on both technical and business impact. He is also the author of AWS Lambda in Action and has extensive experience helping teams adopt and build with new technologies.
