Without Foresight Institute Gatherings I wouldn't have met John Smart and there wouldn't be a Future Salon. Therefore it is my great pleasure to promote this year's conference:
Foresight Gathering 2010: The Synergy of Molecular Manufacturing and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)
- Saturday, January 16 and Sunday, January 17, 2010
- Sheraton Palo Alto Hotel
- 625 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA 94301
Christine Peterson the organizer of the Gathering is Vice President of Foresight Institute, a
nonprofit focusing on advanced technologies especially nanotech and AI.
She once spoke at the Future Salon about Open Source Sensing too and answered a couple of questions that I sent her about the event:
How did you end up organizing the event?
"I love organizing conferences and this one covers the two most important technology developments for the coming decades."
There have been meetings on molecular manufacturing and on artificial general intelligence, but to our knowledge this is the first one to zero in on the *interaction* of these, which will be huge.
How does a foresight gathering differ from other conferences?
Foresight events attract some of the most intelligent and interesting people on the planet, and many of them are working actively to make the world a better place. Participants often find new collaborators at our conferences -- and of course new friends.
If only this would be during the week, which would make it easier for me to come. Now with family, it is tough. On the other hand you don't have to take vacation days to join the fun.
