Nivan 2026: A Time Travel Conference

May 2026 | Chicago, Illinois
Venue: TBD

Theme: Elevating Possibilities Across Time

At Nivan 2026, we explore how creativity evolves, technology transforms, and humanity connects through three timeframes:

Learning from the Past

History shows innovation’s dual edge. Kodak invented the digital camera yet clung to film. Apple redefined industries through design. Netflix foresaw behavior change and transformed entertainment. Tesla treated cars as learning systems. Each reminds us that real breakthroughs begin with empathy, foresight, and courage to reinvent.

Designing in the Present

We are at a creative inflection point. Tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Figma AI have turned technology into a collaborator, reshaping how we ideate, analyze, and build. At Nivan, we explore this evolving partnership between human imagination and machine intelligence—creating outcomes that are useful, ethical, and deeply human.

Imagining the Future

Tomorrow’s AI will not only respond but anticipate. Design systems will learn and adapt. Research will predict rather than observe. Experiences will evolve in real time guided by emotion, context, and creativity. The future is not about replacing people; it is about amplifying our potential.
