There's a teenager in Seoul who taught herself to build apps by talking to a machine. She's never written a line of code. She has 40,000 users.
There's a guy in a garage in Phoenix who's been printing the same drone chassis for eleven weeks because he can't get the weight distribution right. He doesn't have an engineering degree. He has a 3D printer.
There's a woman in London who quit her job to build a production studio out of her apartment. A camera, a laptop, and six months. She has more subscribers than her old company has customers.
Different worlds. Same instinct.
Obsession.
They're everywhere right now. Building in rooms where no one speaks their language. The tools are there.
The people aren't.
In a forest, individual trees don't coordinate. They just grow. When enough of them grow tall enough, their branches overlap and form a single structure.
That structure has a name.
Canopy.
When you surround the obsessed with other obsessed people, they accelerate. When you surround them with obsessed people from completely different worlds, they don't just accelerate. They evolve.
This spring we're bringing three worlds of builders together for five weeks.
Software. Agents, apps, tools, platforms.
Hardware. Robots, drones, wearables, machines.
Media. Channels, streams, studios, creator-led brands.
