Dear Extropy-chat at extropy.org,

You are cordially invited to a science and life extension conference



Hosted at Georgia Tech's modern Conference Center in downtown Atlanta, GA, the Immortality Institute’s inaugural one-day Life Extension Conference will be held on Sat. Nov. 5, 2005.

With a focus on anti-aging, artificial intelligence, cryobiology and brain-computer interfacing, speakers will address the question:
