First launched in 2009, the Singularity Executive Program has helped thousands of leaders re-frame their perspective and develop a deeper understanding of the technologies shaping the future.
The program's purpose is to inspire radically new ways of thinking — the kind of mindset necessary for starting new companies or reshaping organizations.
The Executive Program takes place at the Ameswell Hotel in Mountain View, California, down the street from legendary NASA research labs and Google’s headquarters.
The location is ideal for our intimate cohorts to spend time together inside and outside, with moderate weather year round.
