Public Events

A critical goal of VDS is to engage and inspire the world at large. To do this, it is critical to expose VDS to as many people as possible. To do this, we organize a series of public events throughout the year to share our work. Sometimes these events will feature the work of our teams, sometimes our efforts to develop our collaboration interface, and at times they may just be a celebration of life, the universe and everything -- so be alert and enjoy. As events are scheduled, they will be listed here. If you are particularly interested in hearing about a specific topic, you can cast your vote below and with just a bit of luck we should be able to respond to such requests. While most of our events will occur in Cambridge, MA be sure to check carefully as VDS teams are located on six of the seven continents and so place matters!

Summer 2006

During the Summer of 2006 VDS ran a pilot project to identify what it takes to innovate and how to prime teams to achieve rapid progress. Rather than trying to articulate fully what VDS meant as a flageship endeavor, we encourage you to take a look at the Discover Turbo website about the initiative, replease with videos, puzzles, photographs and technical maps about the four prototype vehicles. Click on the screen shot below to go to the site to explore for yourself!

While the four rolling prototypes and leadership experience that VDS 1 affording was invaluable, we are also exceptionally pleased to welcome back a number of the pilot program's participants as team and organizational leaders for VDS 2.0 and thrilled to honor the VDS participants who have since done incredible things! In particular, we would like to thank Saphir Faid and Jeroen van Aiken for their incredible work during VDS 1 and congratulate both of them on the creation of a set of teams at GroepT in Belgium while founding AZESolutions:
