“We are excited to announce the second annual Protocol Symposium, the flagship annual event of the Summer of Protocols program. The theme of the symposium is the same as this year’s program: Accelerating Order: exploring protocols as an emerging new world logic, through education, research, and scene-making activities.

This year’s symposium will comprise an in-person Protocol Foundations workshop in Vancouver, Sept 12-14 (Fri-Sun), aimed at mathematically oriented researchers and practitioners, followed by an online-only weeklong Protocol School, Sept 15-19 (Mon-Fri), aimed at those interested in acquiring a basic grounding in protocol studies, from any background.” https://protocolized.summerofprotocols.com/p/2025-protocol-symposium

Applications are open for the 2025 Protocol Symposium: 

Sept. 12-14: Foundations Workshop for technical researchers in Vancouver, Canada

Sept. 15-19: Online, uni-level course on protocols in STEM, art, humanities, and management.

nerdsnipping will soon be a real thing that you can do to intelligent drones. Instead of shooting it down you give the drone a problem that gets its attention.

Going live in a few minutes to talk about a current project + study group, and pontificate in real time:
