Innovative Experiences
at Nivan
Innovative experiences at Nivan are the interactive formats that run alongside our talks: a Time Capsule where attendees seal a prediction that opens at the next conference, and a private Message to the Future returned to the writer a year later. Nivan is an Innovation conference and community across Tech, AI, UX and Design, based in Chicago.
Beyond talks
What are innovative experiences at Nivan?
Most events fade within a week. At Nivan, the best ideas are sealed, kept, and tested against the future. The Time Capsule and Message to the Future run alongside our talks and debates, so a conference does not end when the room empties.

Questions about Nivan experiences
-
The Time Capsule is a shared wall of predictions about AI, design, work and being human. Each entry is sealed at one Nivan event and opens at the next one. Nothing is shown early, and every prediction is graded by time instead of opinion.
-
Capsule 001 opens on stage at Nivan 2027, flagship to flagship. There is no digital release before the reveal, so the first people to see it will be in the room.
-
Predictions are captured in person at Nivan events.
-
No sealed entry is shown before its reveal. Entries were submitted with consent for storage and public display at the reveal, so a prediction can be shown on screen once its capsule opens.
-
Message to the Future is the private version. Attendees at a flagship write a note to themselves, and it is returned only to the writer about a year later. It is never shown to anyone else.
