Fight Aging!

It seems to be conference season again. Time flies. While we're noting European conferences of interest to supporters of engineered longevity, I should mention this year's TransVision event:

TransVision 2010 is a global transhumanist conference and community convention, organized by several transhumanist activists, groups and organizations, under the executive leadership of the Italian Transhumanist Association (AIT) and with the collaboration of 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.

While TransVision 2010 is not organized by or connected with Humanity+ (formerly WTA), the organizer of most previous TransVision conferences, we wish to thank the Humanity+ Board for allowing the use of the name.

Transhumanism, as I may have remarked on previous occasions, is simply common sense applied to technology and life in an age of change. But there are enough fools in the world for common sense to need its advocates.

The conference has a good list of speakers set up already - the usual suspects, plus some of the Eurozone folk who don't often make it to the US conferences. If you're in the area this October, you should make an effort to attend. Some of the speakers, such as Max More or David Pearce, have been advocating radical life extension and the defeat of age-related suffering for considerably longer than I have, their efforts dating back to the early days of the modern transhumanist movement. It would be a shame to miss a chance to see them in action.
