Schedule + Hub Partners

Hosted by DrawBridge with Compassion 2.0, Human+Tech Week, and Evelisa Genova. On the eve of Human+Tech Week, our partners at DrawBridge host an inaugural gala that captures everything the C2 Hub stands for — art, community, flourishing, and the belief that creativity is not a luxury but a lifeline. 5:00–9:30 PM PDT at 2 Embarcadero Center, San Francisco.

Carson D. Kelly (Compassion 2.0) and Rebecca Kirstein Resch (Inqli) — introduction by Tamara Lechner

Explore what happens when enterprises design with — rather than against — our inherent neurobiological motivations for collective work.

Steven Crane (Stanford) and Thorsten Hoins (Twyne)

Social isolation has been building for decades — but the loneliness crisis is now colliding with a critical inflection point. Stanford researcher Steven Crane and Twyne founder Thorsten Hoins explore the evolutionary roots of human connection and why so much of modern life works against it.

Carissa Karban

An experiential session exploring play as a practice for presence, connection, and agency. This isn't a talk about play. This is play.

Evelisa Genova (DrawBridge, Harvard M.Ed.)

A thesis on art as a practice of flourishing — using the mindset tools of the arts to build authentic self-expression and agency.

Presented by the IEEE Global AIS Flourishing Initiative

An interactive session using backcasting to imagine and actively shape a future where AI helps humans live their best lives. Together we explore the current AI landscape, define human flourishing in a technology-saturated world, and examine the ethical frameworks and design principles needed to prioritize human potential, connection, and well-being. Participants leave with practical tools, shared commitments, and concrete next steps.

Private convening — invite only

A private convening for builders, practitioners, and researchers working at the intersection of contemplative traditions and AI infrastructure.

Vlad Moskovski

Vlad Moskovski explores what happens to human agency and purpose when AI disrupts not just tasks, but the deeper structures of identity and meaning people have built their lives around.

Carson D. Kelly

Carson D. Kelly introduces the Organizational Flourishing Construct — a framework for understanding how relational coherence converts into coordinated execution, and how AI can accelerate organizational metabolism.

Maithilee Samant (mirro.ai), Blair Ryan (Kindred AI), and Colleen Furman (Pebl)

Maithilee Samant (mirro.ai), Blair Ryan (Kindred AI), and Colleen Furman (Pebl) share what it actually looks like to build technology with human connection at the center — the tradeoffs, the lessons, and what they'd do differently.

Tamara Lechner, Evelisa Genova, and Carissa Karban

Tamara Lechner, Evelisa Genova, and Carissa Karban close the C2 Hub by pulling the week's threads together — what patterns emerged, what inspired us, and how we can support each other moving forward.
