RE.WORK Technology Summit
The RE.WORK Technology Summit is a one day event that brings together
entrepreneurship, science, and technology to re-work the future and
tackle some of the world's greatest challenges. The event will showcase
the opportunities of breakthrough technologies and their potential for a
positive impact on business and society. Emerging technology is
providing an unprecedented era of opportunity for entrepreneurs and
scientists to progress business and solve global challenges. By 2050
there will be around 9 billion people on the planet, so understanding,
knowledge, and collaboration is vital to help steer the way to a better
world. RE.WORK is focused on generating innovative ideas and encouraging
collaboration to solve big, global problems in areas such as increased
urbanization levels, efficient healthcare, sustainable energy solutions,
and equal opportunities for all. Technology can have a revolutionary
impact on these issues and some of the new products and advances
explored at RE.WORK will include progress in the internet of things,
sensors, 3D printing, wearable technology, nanotechnology,
biotechnology, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
The RE.WORK Technology Summit will be held September 19th in London. Our
Rachel Armstrong, Stuart Armstrong, Aubrey de Grey, and Randal Koene
will be speaking. RE.WORK is led by our Nikita Johnson. Use the discount

Free Books for Your Readers
If you have a high traffic site, we would be glad to offer the Kindle version of our book "The Human Race to the Future" for free to your readers for a day as we did for KurzweilAI at http://www.kurzweilai.net/the-human-rac...ad-today You can get an idea of your traffic at alexa.com. An Alexa Traffic Rank lower than 250,000 is preferred. (We have a limited number of free Kindle days to work with.)
Donating Old Computers
If you have a computer with a PCI-E slot that you don't need any
more, we would welcome a donation of it. (A computer sold in the past
six years probably has such a slot and we can tell you based on the
model of your computer whether you have one.) To make a long story
short, we are having a problem getting high-end NVIDIA cards to run in
our HP Pavilion Elite HPE-570t (the problem is specific to this model,
HPs in general don't have a problem) and wish to use such cards to
generate a vanity bitcoin address for our bitcoin endowment fund at

If you have such a computer to donate, send an email to
