Transvision 2010 - The Transhumanist Conference and Community Convention will be held 22-24 October, 2010, at the Hotel Dei Cavalieri in Milan, Italy
TransVision 2010 is a global transhumanist conference and community convention, organized by Giulio Prisco with the collaboration of the Italian Transhumanist Association (AIT) and an Advisory Board. The event will take place on October 22, 23 and 24, 2010 in Milan, Italy with many options for remote online access.
Giulio Prisco is a well-known European transhumanist and an active and prolific member of the Advancing Substrate-Independent Minds (ASIM) community. Giulio has been instrumental in the organization of many carboncopies events.
As per Giulio's announcement on the Transvision 2010 web site:
"TransVision 2010 will be a very intense, informative, scientific as well as entertaining tour de force in contemporary transhumanist thinking, activism, science, technology & innovation and grand visionary dreams, with over 40 talks distributed over three days. Join us to explore the scientific, technological, cultural, artistic and social trends which could change our world beyond recognition and may result in a singularity in only a few decades.
The first day will be mainly dedicated to the philosophical, cultural and social aspects of transhumanism. We will also explore new forms of artistic expressions and design inspired by transhumanist thinking.
The second day will be mainly dedicated to technology: we will cover life extension, biotechnology and genetic engineering, cryonics and brain preservation, whole brain emulation and mind uploading, synthetic biology, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, converging technologies and the technological singularity, and other transhumanist technologies, either already emerging from the research labs and almost ready for operational deployment, or still in a conceptual development phase.
The third day will be dedicated to the big picture, the wonderful cosmic adventures in which the human race is about to embark, leaving our little blue planet and spreading to the stars and beyond together with our AI mind children. We will also cover the metaphysical, spiritual, and even religious impact of transhumanist cosmic visions."
