From 12:00 PM on December 13, 2025 until 12:00 PM on December 14, 2025, each hour will introduce a unique topic related to visualizing animal, plant, and other intelligences and their unique symbiotic relationships.

There will be presentations, demonstrations, and discussions of linguistic, kinesthetic, communication, musical, emotional, and other intelligence types with a focus on collaboration and coordination across life forms and intelligences. The visualizations aim to surface strengths and weaknesses of existing and future sensors & actuators, memory & reasoning, exploration & communication, plus shared goals & desirable futures.
