I hope the Institute for Accelerating Change did not boast about this 
because.  These types of statements take away credibility. There have been 
many futurist conferences intentionally covering multidisciplinary 
implications of accelerated change.


"The 2003 confab was billed as "the first in the world to focus on the 
multidisciplinary implications of accelerating change and the 
multidisciplinary implications of accelerating change and the consequences 
of a technological singularity." What is a technological singularity? A 
moment when runaway ad-vances outstrip human comprehension and all our 
knowledge and experience becomes useless as a guidepost to the future."  Bruce
