The 2009 Singularity Summit is taking place in New York on the 3rd-4th October: see http://www.singularitysummit.com/

That Summit is described as "a conference devoted to the better understanding of increasing intelligence and accelerating change... bringing together a visionary community to further dialogue and action on complex, long-term issues that are transforming the world. Participants will hear talks from cutting-edge researchers and network with strategic business leaders. The world's most eminent experts on forecasting, venture capital, emerging technologies, consciousness and life extension will present their unique perspectives on the future and how to get there."

One week later, several of the UK-based speakers and delegates from the Singularity Summit will be gathering in London, to review what they found to be the highlights from the New York meeting - breakthrough ideas, successes, failures, good surprises, bad surprises...

This lecture was recorded on 10th of October 2009 at the UKH+ meeting. For information on further meetings please see:
