Steampunk Track
The two words that drive humanity to greater heights every day are What If? The thoughts and imaginings of what could be if we only changed this here or went down a different road there continue with us through good times and bad and have brought about entirely new worlds of possibilities.
This track asks the questions about different points in our history concerning massive societal differences.
Had we chosen a different path, possibilities are explored, opening multiple doors to the realities of tomorrow.
We will also feature prominent artists and writers to answer questions, and of course to ask…What if?
