SXSW EDU
March 13, 2026 | Austin, TX
Dreamscapes brought together education leaders, funders, and builders ahead of SXSW EDU for a delicious lunch and dynamic conversations at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and impact. As AI becomes irreversibly embedded across every industry, education leaders' voices have been largely missing from the dominant narrative — and Dreamscapes offered the space to change that. Attendees explored how reclaiming narrative power might be the key to better partnerships, better products, and a roadmap for future collaboration.
Guest Impressions: Human+Tech Week
Some conversations are too good to keep to ourselves. Here's what guests took away from their experience at Dreamscapes Human+Tech Week.
Human+Tech Week
May 9, 2026 | San Francisco, CA
Dreamscapes Human+Tech Week was an official partner event co-hosted with Dream Purple Foundation and Purple Haus, bringing together funders, builders, and ecosystem leaders for an evening of dynamic conversation. The program featured two moderated conversations exploring how narrative shapes what gets built, what gets funded, and how ideas move into action, with guests encouraged to talk back, ask questions, and engage throughout. The program was followed by a networking mixer complete with a DJ set, small bites, and mock-tails.
