        Nanotechnology "Unconference" now open to general public

        Registration for Foresight’s Nov. 3-4 Vision Weekend focused on nanotechnology and other advanced technologies — traditionally restricted to Foresight Senior Associates — is being opened to the general public this year as an experiment. Space is limited and participants are advised to register very soon.

        To warm up for our Sat/Sun afternoon unconference, in the mornings we’ll have four inspiring plenary talks:

        David Friedman: Polymath whose creativity knows no boundaries, from economics to coming technologies to visionary fiction (Sat)
        Matt Francis: Rising star in nanotech, bringing us the latest & greatest in nanobio on the pathway to atomically precise construction (Sat)
        Peter Thiel: From financial markets to longevity to AI & the singularity, his vision is dramatic and compelling (Sun)
        Chris Heward: If your goal is anti-aging, he’s your man. We’ll hear the latest advances on living longer (Sun)

        Then in the afternoon we’ll explore these topics, and more added by participants:

        Nanotechnology
        Diamond mechanosynthesis
        Productive Nanosystems Roadmap

        Facebook members can use the Facebook event listing to:
        • Invite your friends to the event — even if you can’t attend this year yourself
        • Indicate your plans to participate

        But the only way to actually get in the door is to pre-register! We can’t take walk-ins this year.

        Hope to see you there! —Christine
