| Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno Revolutions to be Explored at Convergence08 Unconference - Forecaster Paul Saffo to Keynote |
| The Convergence08 conference (www.convergence08.org) on Nano-Bio-Info-Cogno (NBIC) technologies and their interactions will be held November 15-16, 2008 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. The event will use an innovative "unconference" format to enable participants to customize the event in a highly interactive way. |
| Paul Saffo, a Silicon Valley forecaster with over two decades experience exploring long-term technological change and its practical impact on business and society, will keynote the event. About Convergence08 he observed, "A host of technologies that seemed like daring science fiction just a few years ago are racing toward practical application with breathtaking speed. Convergence08 is a unique opportunity to look into the coming NBIC future, examine its implications and prepare for the vast surprises in store for us all."
Both days feature debates on controversial NBIC topics including Synthetic Biology, Longevity, and Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Barney Pell, founder of Powerset and search strategist & evangelist at Microsoft, stated, "At this event we aim to use the power of collective intelligence to see farther along the convergence trajectories -- each of the NBIC technologies is transformative on its own, and there's a strong interplay among them." |
Welcome to Nanotechnology.com’s Press Release Area.
Corporate press releases often offer an important glimpse into a company’s development and corporate information
that can fill gaps for investors. While regular, persistent releases of unimportant information can be a sign
of sheer stock promotion, blue chips, like IBM and Intel, sometimes make more than a dozen
press releases per day. At Nanotechnology.com we make every effort NOT to
publish press releases as NEWS, however, we publish corporate releases in this special section
for your own discerning eye and keep the real news separate.
