Learning Week
Join EPIC Members to build foundational expertise, learn about emerging challenges, and hang out with a generous and ingenious community of change makers!Program
Each year, we gather to build the expertise, skills, and community we need to navigate this time of transformation. Just bring your ingenuity, creativity, rigor, and open mind!
Learning Week most recently took place May 16-19, 2025. Check out our daily themes below and become an EPIC Member to watch Learning Week recordings (coming in summer 2025) in the EPIC Library.
Social & Technological Change
MONDAY, MAY 12
Speakers addressed critical changes at the intersection of technology, politics, and society that are affecting (perhaps radically) our work and our lives.
Research Futures
TUESDAY, MAY 13
A hallmark of ethnography is adaptation to socio-technical change. Speakers brought the right mix of rigor, creativity, and innovation to core and leading-edge methodologies.
Intelligences
WEDNESDAY, MAY 14
It is both strategically and ethically necessary to engage multiple, collective, and distributed intelligences. Speakers explored social and cognitive implications of AI interaction and how AI adoption is changing organizations, collaboration, and work.
Careers
THURSDAY, MAY 15
The right way to navigate your career or search for a job is the one that feels the best – with a generous community of smart, creative folks. We heard from speakers and hiring managers about the market for our work and heard strategies for networking.
