ISSS, the Washington Conferences
Kicking off with the International Society for Systems Sciences Annual Conference
This year’s ISSS conference will be held at Open Gov Hub in Washington DC June 9-13, 2024 – Register Here
This is a hybrid conference, therefore, one can attend or present in person and/or online. The conference will be followed by a one day workshop 14 June on cybernetics and governance by the IFSR and the Forum for Democracy, and this will be followed 15 – 19 June by the American Society for Cybernetics and 15 – 18 June the Archetypes conference. All in Washington, DC.
The theme for the conference is influence and responsibility. We all have our spheres of influence. As systems scientists we have a responsibility to let others know about the work we do. The world is a troubled place, and organisations are trying to navigate in a complex context. Successful navigation partly depends on having good conceptual tools that are suited to meet the challenges. Institutions and organisations have the responsibility to be as well informed as possible about systems science, cybernetics and complexity theory at the very least. As a species, we cannot afford to make too many more mistakes.
Please note that the IFSR will hold an event, in the same venue, on Friday, June 14th – just before the ASC Conference.
