In this fourth annual Big Ideas Conference, the conference theme and four panel subthemes were selected by a committee of Stanford faculty. Each panel features four to five speakers giving a 20-to-30-minute talk on a transformational big idea. The speakers on each panel will then come together for an open, moderated discussion.
