Singularity Summit 2010
The Singularity Summit 2010 will be held August 14-15 at the Hyatt
Regency in San Francisco, California.
This is a rare gathering of thinkers to explore the rising impact of
science and technology on society. The summit has been organized to
further the understanding of a controversial idea — the Singularity
scenario. As an official partner of this event, the Lifeboat Foundation
invites scientists, futurists, and everyone interested in the future of
the human species to attend.

ASIM 2020
ASIM 2010: Advancing Substrate-Independent Minds, Satellite to the
Singularity Summit 2010, will be held at the Hyatt Regency in San
Francisco during August 16-17.
ASIM (Advancing Substrate-Independent Minds) is a new series of
workshops and activities that will cover the current state of the art in
the fields of whole brain emulation, mind transfer, digital
personalities, gradual replacement techniques, and brain preservation.
The sessions of the ASIM workshop will run after the Singularity Summit
workshop on Monday and Tuesday, as a satellite event to the main
Singularity Summit (August 14-15). The Singularity Summit workshop
finishes at 5pm on both days, so there will be time to find some dinner
before joining their evening sessions.
It is being organized by our Randal A. Koene and Suzanne Gildert.
