Oppenheimer Society
Dedicated to Innovation in the Face of Unintended Consequences.

Is This Real?
The Oppenheimer Society started in 2017 as an alt-in(novation) event connecting interesting people doing interesting things that don't normally make headlines. Each year the Oppenheimer Society picks 20 new Twenty Over Twenties and four Heimers to be celebrated at a no-cost awards night (no table or advertising purchase required to be considered...) with diverse conversation celebrating:
​
"dedication to innovation in the face of unintended consequences!"
​
There is literally nothing else to this.
