New Keynote:
Artificial Intelligence: New Tech, Same Flops. AI is a massive wave of innovation, and it's following the exact same rules of failure as every tech wave before it. Let's be smart and learn from the past. This keynote de-hypes the conversation to provide a sane historical context that helps us understand what is going on today. -
Bring the Museum of Failure to your event.
The smallest version has nine artifacts, but the exhibition can easily be expanded for larger events. This miniature version of the museum is adapted to the event theme and audience:
General Innovation: our most popular theme. A "greatest hits" of the most interesting items from the full museum.
Artificial Intelligence: remember Microsoft's disastrous Tay chatbot? Humaine AI Pin? Check out the latest AI failures here.
Financial Failures: the spectacular collapses of Enron, Snapple, and did anyone mention Brexit?
Healthcare Innovation: from Pfizer's Exubera to the infamous lobotomy instruments.
Bespoke Curation: Have a specific theme for your event? We are happy to discuss creating a custom-curated exhibit just for you.
Add-on:
Combine the mini-exhibition with a powerful keynote or workshop session with the museum's founder Dr. Samuel West.
