Overview
The Gathering is the spark from which the rest of CIRCUL extends — closer in spirit to TED, Aspen Ideas, or Long Now Seminars than to a tech conference. Programs, partnerships, and Fellowships emerge from what happens here.
The Four-Day Rhythm
Each Gathering follows the same arc, refined year over year.
Day One
Convergence
The opening gathering. Voices set the year's themes.
Day Two
Salons
Curated small-group dialogues across disciplines.
Day Three
Labs
Co-creation sessions. Cross-pollination becomes practice.
Day Four
Reflection
Closing rituals, long conversations, the work ahead.

The Gathering takes place across the San Francisco Bay Area. Specific venues are announced closer to each year's date.
