Silicon Valley has generated innovation affecting millions of people worldwide. But what is innovation without meaning and purpose? Saint Andrew's Church and School are pleased to host this first annual conference which gathers innovators and the faith community to explore conscious innovation.
Through presentations from innovation leaders and interactive discussion with participants, we will explore the nexus points between innovation, technology, and faith and how they may work together to further human connection and improve lives. Attendees will connect with others to generate ideas and create an ongoing community forum for exploring the significant questions regarding the impact of the gifts of innovation.
"Silicon Valley's history of innovation has long evoked discussion about technology in relation to faith," said Mike Malone. "This conference explores the meaning and purpose behind innovation."
