Unending gratitude and appreciation for the energy, openness, and kindness of the Artificiality community who gathered for the Imagining Summit this weekend in Bend. We journeyed through the blending of synthetic and organic worlds, intimacy, spatiality, knowledge, consciousness, minds, kids & the future, inclusion, art & music. We learned, challenged, explored, wandered, and wondered. We sparked new friendships and deepened old ones. We feasted, shared stories, listened, and laughed. Helen and I are grateful beyond words for this extraordinary group taking a risk with us—trusting that we would give everything we have. We are inspired and overwhelmed. And we are already planning next year’s Summit! Thank you again to our sponsors—Oregon State University-Cascades, Bast AI, Wiqi—and our partners—House of Beautiful Business, DXM, Bend Entrepreneur Lab Much more to share soon. For now, here are a few photos.

Very lovely, mind-expanding launch! Isn’t wonderful how sometimes the runaway surprise boulder projects roll you right into a field of strawberries. Congratulations you two!
This looks amazing! Congratulations!
Love seeing this! Congrats on an amazing event Dave Edwards & Helen Edwards 🤠
Dave Edwards, sounds like the Imagining Summit was an incredible experience! The blend of synthetic and organic worlds is truly fascinating. It's inspiring to see such a passionate community come together. Looking forward to hearing more about next year's plans and how AI will continue to empower us all. PS - I'm still recovering from an injury but things are looking up and up!
Dave and Helen took a risk and we are all the better for it. Thanks for getting this inspired community together and DXM was honored to be part of it.
This looks and sounds terrific, Dave - my work is increasingly focusing on reimagination, so an Imagining Summit sounds right up my alley! I'll look forward to hearing more as you head toward next year's event - if you are looking for speakers, do keep me in mind. And give our best to Helen too!
I so wish I could have been there. Looks wonderful! Looking forward to hearing more about the contents and outcomes.
Looks like a it was a fantastic meeting of positive minds. What a unique event and one I'd love to attend in the future! Well done for setting such a great agenda and compelling topics to explore collaboratively.
Congrats on an amazing event!
Congratulations on a fantastic inaugural event. Looking forward to next year already!
