Fast Forward with the Thiel Foundation, 14 December, 2011

Carboncopies was invited to participate in the event at 7pm on 14 December, 2011, at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Fast Forward with the Thiel Foundation is in many ways the successor or follow-up to last year's philanthropy event.    It has been billed as: "An engaging evening saluting the people and organizations pushing the frontiers of technology in bold and innovative ways." The event promises an elegant night at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, with among other things creatively constructed Lego sculptures and the forward-thinking nonprofits that inspired them, including:

The Long Now Foundation

The Seasteading Institute

SENS Foundation

The Singularity Institute

Singularity University
