For the past eight years, Dent the Future has had the honor of organizing science and tech panels in collaboration with the San Diego Comic-Con editorial team. This effort has resulted in some of the most intriguing and forward-thinking talks to have appeared on the SDCC expo stages.
In addition, at our annual speaker receptions we’ve hosted some of the most exciting technology demos to have ever been presented during Comic-Con:
