Long Now Boston Annual Garden Party

Long Now Boston's Annual Garden Party returns, August 11 02024!

Event summary coming soon!


We are thrilled to invite you to a garden party hosted by Long Now Boston in collaboration with Danny Hillis and Taylor Milsal. 


This isn't just a party — it's an opportunity to engage with thought-provoking ideas, innovative minds, and a celebration of the long term. Informal conversations with our members will spark enlightening discussions and provide a unique perspective on our shared future.


The afternoon will feature:
• Conversations with the community's brightest minds,
• Delicious vegetarian foods that will cater to your taste buds and adult beverages to last the afternoon,
• An opportunity to network with other long-now thinkers in the serenity of Danny and Taylor's lush garden, under the summer sky.

In the spirit of the Long Now, we encourage you to take this chance to slow down, appreciate the moment, and immerse yourself in far-reaching, forward-thinking conversations.

The Cambridge MA venue details and the schedule for the day will follow shortly. Your early RSVP would be greatly appreciated, as it will help us plan for an unforgettable event.

We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate the optimism of the long view and engage with the unique perspective of time that the Long Now Boston community embodies.
