Responsible Nanotechnology: Travel and Appearances

May 2008

Here is where I will be going over the next several months...

April 11: Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review Conference, Washington DC

I've been invited to attend this event as an audience member on behalf of CRN with the opportunity to ask questions and participate in dialogue. The morning session will focus on "A Framework Convention for Nanotechnology." This is an invitation-only affair, but the good news is that you can invite yourself. See this page for more information.

July 17-20: Conference on Global Catastrophic Risks, Oxford, UK

This event, organized by the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, is built around a new book composed of essays on the full range of global catastrophic risks. Chris Phoenix and I co-authored a chapter on advanced nanotechnology for the book, and we will make a joint presentation at the conference on the subject of "Small Machines, Big Choices: The Looming Impacts of Molecular Manufacturing."

July 26-28: WorldFuture 2008, Washington DC

The annual conference of the World Future Society, where I have made presentations twice before, in 2005 and 2007. My talk this year, scheduled for 11:00 am to 12:00 pm on Sunday, July 27, will be on "Radical Technologies, Rapid Change, and the Real World." You can download the preliminary conference program here [PDF].

September 3-5: Basque Country Program on Globalization, San Sebastian, Spain

This is an annual event sponsored by the Basque Savings Bank Federation. In previous years they have covered the digital revolution, sustainable development, demographic evolution, climate change, and other issues. For this year's conference, I've been asked to give a lecture "broadly focused on globalization and nanotechnology."

If you are able to attend any of these events, I look forward to seeing you there!
