In a world increasingly shaped by rapid evolution, geopolitical flux and fragmentation a fundamental human desire for stability amidst uncertainty persists. While anxieties about the future compel us to seek firm guidelines, true progress lies in collectively forging resilient paths, rather than adhering to rigid answers. This gathering is not about delivering predetermined narratives, but about a shared inquiry into the present and a collaborative sculpting of the future. It aims to explore the "untimely" – those nascent forms and thoughts that describe our current era but remain as yet unarticulated or unacknowledged. Through this collective process, we seek to move beyond conventional discourse, embracing radical transformation and fostering a deeper understanding of our interwoven existence with technology and the natural world.

The framework for understanding delves into the multifaceted dimensions of human and more-than-human coexistence, seeking to challenge anthropocentric views and foster harmonious interactions across humanity, technology, and the natural environment. This is achieved through strategic clarity and accessibility, drawing inspiration from leading philosophies to ensure presentations are clear, vision-driven and avoid jargon for practical, impactful outcomes. This understanding necessitates a focus on designing responsive futures, moving beyond mere "smart" solutions to cultivate "senseable" ecosystems that acknowledge the inherent agency of matter itself. Such adaptive, interactive environments, from livable cities to factories of the future, demand human-centric technology, robust feedback loops, and profound interdisciplinary collaboration. Furthermore, it addresses the critical need to harness synthetic biology and genomics for biological responses to climate change and future health, while responsibly navigating the challenges of generative AI for innovation and growth, particularly in light of concerns about "useless classes" and "data dictatorships". The current context also highlights the urgency of radical educational innovations, transforming lifelong learning through new radical pedagogies and AI to enable individuals and societies to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing world. This landscape profoundly necessitates critical inquiry and participatory engagement, actively fostering civic discourse and collective problem-solving, including discussions on ensuring robust societal resilience and preparedness in an unpredictable world.

Finally, it re-imagines coexistence by embracing a "more-than-human" perspective that acknowledges the agency of all entities—humans, animals, plants, and AI—to foster justice, well-being, and caring relationships through multispecies interaction design. Ultimately, the conference seeks to inspire collective action and responsible innovation, transforming dialogue into a catalyst for shaping shared, adaptable, and inclusive futures.
