Dear Ben Hijink,
This year, the
Singularity
Summit 2010 (SS10) will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in
San Francisco, California, in a 1100-seat ballroom on
August 14-15. Our
speakers will include Ray Kurzweil, author of
The Singularity is Near;
James Randi, magician-skeptic and founder of the James Randi
Educational Foundation; Terry Sejnowski, computational
neuroscientist; Irene Pepperberg, pioneering researcher in animal
intelligence; David Hanson, creator of the world's most realistic
human-like robots; and many more. In all, the conference will
include over twenty speakers, including many scientists presenting on
their latest cutting-edge research in topics like intelligence
enhancement and regenerative medicine.
A variety of discounts are available for those wanting to attend the
conference for less. If you
register
by midnight PST on
Tuesday, June 8th, you can register for $385, which
is $300 less than the cost of a ticket at the door, which will be $685.
If you register before
July 1st, registration is $485, a $200
discount. Registration before
August 1st is $585, and from
August 1st until the conference the price is $685. The sooner
you register, the more you save.
Additional discounts are available for students, $1,000+ SIAI donors,
and attendees who refer others who pay full price (no student
referrals). Students receive $100 off whatever the current
price is, and attendees gain a $100 discount per non-student referral.
These discounts are stackable, so a student who refers four
non-students who pay full price before the end of June can attend for
free. You can ask us more about discounts at
ma...@singularitysummit.com.
Your Singularity Summit ticket is a tax-deductible donation to SIAI,
almost all of which goes to support our ongoing research and academic
work.
If you've been to a Singularity Summit before, you'll know that the
attendees are among the smartest and most ambitious people you'll ever
meet. Scientists, engineers, writers, reporters,
philosophers, tech policy specialists, and entrepreneurs all join to
discuss the most important questions of our time.
