When you remember your past, do you think of beautiful childhood memories, of you playing around with friends, enjoying your favorite cartoon, having a family picnic? or do you think of dark, troubled and somber times, when things weren't that great?

Are you a more present-oriented person? thinking of how to enjoy the moment for you never know what will come tomorrow? Carpe Diem? Seize the day! and let's take a selfie?

Or do you happen to be the type of person who's constantly working toward the future? Endless to-do lists, endless options and alternatives. So focused on the future that you can't enjoy the food you're eating right now because it's time taken from your planning and preparation?

Regardless of where you happen to be on the time spectrum, time has a huge impact on who we are... and how we behave! Don't believe? Watch Psychologist Philip Zimbardo's TED Talk!

What is the impact of time on your life? where do you fit into the time spectrum?

Our event this year will celebrate the power of time with our speakers. We'll evaluate this obsession with time, while revisiting old memories, embracing the present, and creating new ones!

Our "time capsule", fondly dubbed "time capsule X" allowed us to preserve these memories, this new collection of meaningful experiences and information, so we can share our collective wisdom and ideas with one another, and with our future selves!

Don't let time pass you by. Let's create our own collective memory box! Our shared time capsule.
