[ExI] ANNOUNCE: Humanity+ Conference May 14-15, in NYC

[Max More]

Fantastic!

I'm really looking forward to participating in this event, the venue and
focus being refreshingly different from so many other transhumanist
conferences. The collection of speakers is large, diverse, and impressive. I
hope lots of east coasters will attend, as well as some from further afield.

See you in New York!

> Technological innovation permeates all aspects of society—from tiny water
> purification packets and portable LifeStraw filters, to GPS tracking
> devices, wearable Timex iPods and Gel-Kinsei high-tech running shoes.
> Because technology and society evolve together, it has become increasingly
> important to develop a greater understanding of how technology is shaping
> the course of our lives. We are faced with a need to continuously become
> more innovative in harnessing and controlling technology’s acceleration.
> Nevertheless, innovation develops in stages. When it speeds up, we are faced
> with an urge to become ever more resourceful. When it slows down there is an
> impending impatience to compete with the exuberance of China. There is no
> doubt that even the most conservative thinkers agree that we have stepped
> into an era of a massive change. The good news is that our human diversity
> continues to spawn inventiveness and novelty.
