The 100 Year Project 2027 Design Summit | April 28-30, 2027
University of Central Florida | Orlando, Florida

Save the date, save the solar system! The next annual convening of multigenerational changemakers in learning and technology is hosted by University of Central Florida, a.k.a. SpaceU.

Think outside the five-year plan. Explore the last 50 and next 50 years for an 100-year view. Design solutions to the most pressing opportunities and challenges of our time, together.

Early registration will open late summer 2026. Sign up for emails to be notified.

Annual gathering for the curious, the creative and the committed.

The 100 Year Project’s third annual Design Summit is where education leaders, technologists, students (!!!!) and changemakers come together to imagine what’s possible for the next 50 years — and to build it.

We are thrilled to announce that the 2027 Design Summit will take place from April 28-30 at University of Central Florida — mark your calendar to join us!

Over three energizing days, through the lens of community-created science fiction-style films, we’ll explore bold ideas, tackle persistent challenges and design real-world solutions that put learners at the center.

The Design Summit is where collaboration sparks action — where your perspective helps move the field forward. Registration, hotel information and speaker announcements are coming soon. Stay tuned for updates!

Space is limited at the venue, so the Summit is first-come-first-serve, and we’ll close it when we reach 230. Discounted early registration will open late summer 2026.
