Based on this roster of speakers, the MIT Center for Future Civic Media exists in a constant state of productive ferment, if not adrenaline rush.

“We’re taking a step back, (trying) to re-imagine technologies so they’re built on the level of the community, not just on the level of the individual consumer. We imagine technologies will strengthen social bonds and empower communities.”
