| Saturday | 1:00 PM | Warren | AI for Better or Worse | There's no doubt that Artificial Intelligence will play some part in our future, but is it good, bad, or both?

| Saturday | 4:00 PM | Warren | Let's Talk Season 2: Computer Science! | A lighthearted talk on a hard science topics with smart and funny people. Let's Talk: Computer Science will chuckle through the collapse of society as we know it.

Eichenlaub |
| Saturday | 5:00 PM | Warren | Let's Talk Season 2: Physics! | A lighthearted talk on a hard science topics with smart and funny people.

| Saturday | 7:00 PM | Warren | Communication During the Apocalypse | Losing the internet has become a shorthand for the apocalypse in science fiction.
