Shat at Transvision 2007

William Shatner will appear along with world renown visionaries and futurists such as Raymond Kurzweil, Peter Diamondis, Marvin Minsky and Aubrey de Grey at TransVision 2007 a global summit on grand challenges, July 23-26th at the Fairmont Hotel, Chicago, Illinois (USA). Bill will be this year’s keynote speaker.

The World Transhumanist Association (WTA) is a global non-profit member organization dedicated to the ethical use of technology to expand human capacities. The WTA supports the development of and access to new technologies that enable everyone to enjoy better minds, better bodies and better lives. This philosophy would be negligent without considering a better environment and a better planet in which to live. How can we live better than well if we don’t take action now to solve the greatest challenges facing our world?

The theme of TransVision 2007 (TV07) will be “Transhumanity Saving Humanity: Inner Space to Outer Space,” and will feature three full days of compelling dialogue with the greatest minds of today about creating the civilizations of tomorrow. TV07 brings extraordinary people from across the globe together with more than 30 distinguished speakers, entertainers and visionaries, such as those listed above.

Here is just a short sampling of what will be discussed:

Attendees can also purchase flights on the Zero-G to experience zero gravity just like Stephen Hawking did this past April!

Thanks goes out to Celia for bringing this event to our attention.
