The Dawn of Superintelligence
Civilization sits at the precipice of a new era, one that will see computers leap from artificial intelligence to a sort of organic superintelligence. How can man and machine collaborate to create a new paradigm for society, one that combines the superintelligence of technologies with the super-sensitivity of humans? The Fast Company European Innovation Festival, powered by Gucci, is a first-ever leadership summit that will bring together business and creative leaders for two days of urgent conversations around the potential presented by emerging superintelligent machines and technology.

Venues
The first two days of programming will be held at the Gucci Hub, the brand’s 35,000 square meter Milan head office in the historic Caproni aeronautical factory built in 1915. Following a meticulous restoration of the original structure taking over three years to complete, the Gucci Hub brings together the fashion house’s Milan offices, worldwide showrooms, fashion show venue and graphics and photo studios in one unique location. The Gucci Hub is located at via Mecenate 77, Milan.
The Hub will feature Sensorium, an interactive exhibition in which advanced technologies are deployed to create experiences that amplify human emotions.
For select attendees, the third and final day of the European Innovation Festival offers a Fast Company first: an exclusive Fast Track in Florence unfolding at the Gucci ArtLab, the company’s futuristic centre of industrial craftsmanship and experimentation laboratory for leather goods and shoes products; Gucci 9, Gucci’s Client Service Center; Gucci Garden; and dinner at Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura.
