The mission of the 6th Annual C21 BioVentures (C21) conference is t o educate all stakeholders in the bioscience industry about the trends tha t are driving its growth and development in the 21st century. The conferen ce was first held in 1999 in California’s Napa Valley as a meeting place t o explore the future of bioventure investing. Since then\, it has evolved into an annual retreat for leading technology gurus\, investors and compan y executives to meet informally to exchange ideas and to review the busine ss plans of innovative new companies in the fields of biotechnology\, info rmatics\, medical devices and healthcare services. In 2003\, the conferenc e was hosted by BayBio. In previous years\, many of the presenting compani es were successful IPO candidates. \n\nhttp://www.techvisio...m/c21/about. php DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20040504T200000Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Cloning in Biomedical Research (Germany) DTSTAMP:20030515T065959Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:7a78cd68c027691d7bd1c2437e5b7dd7@66.49.222.202 ORGANIZER;CN="Bruce Klein":support@imminst.org DESCRIPTION:Cloning in Biomedical Research and Reproduction\nStarts: Wed nesday\, May 14\, 2003 \nEnds: Friday\, May 16\, 2003 \nLocation: Berlin\, Germany \n\n \nThis conference will provide the opportunity for intensive discussions on the ethical\, legal and socio-cultural consequences arisin g from cloning technology and its varied objectives. Only by way of a glob al process of consultation and understanding the necessary preconditions f or drawing up convincing limits can be created that will prevent a potenti al abuse of cloning technology. \n\nDevelopments in the life sciences have turned cloning technology into a method broadly applicable to humans\, an imals and plants. Fields of application cover a full range from duplicatio n of DNA molecules\, cell multiplication and propagation of tissue culture s to cloning of complete organisms. Therefore\, cloning can serve varied p urposes in basic research\, therapeutic research or even in reproduction t echnology.\n\nEthical issues and regulation requirements become particular ly relevant when the various methods and purposes of cloning are applied t o the human embryo. For this reason the conference will focus on presentin g pertinent scientific information and objectives of cloning technology\, including human applications. \; \;\n\nhttp://www.drze.de/events/c loning DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20030514T200000Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Foresight Vision Weekend (CA) DTSTAMP:20040515T055959Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:5d4e3e58a978bf8ff62f45f6d57c3ac3@66.49.222.202 ORGANIZER;CN="Bruce Klein":support@imminst.org DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Christine Peterson\, President\, Foresight Institu te\; Ralph Merkle\, Vice President\, Technology Assessment\, Foresight Ins titute\; Steve Jurvetson\, Managing Director\, Draper Fisher Jurvetson\n\n The goal of this meeting\, "\;Putting Feynman'\;s Vision into Actio n"\;\, is sure to make a difference in how you approach the nanotech f uture.

The scope of the symposium is nanotechnology in automotive\, electronics\ , life sciences\, materials and optics. \n\nThe breakthrough of small part icles with high growth potentials has begun. Nanotechnology is applied in microelectronics\, where the size of the structures is in the nanometer re gion. One of the hot-spots in Europe is Dresden\, the home of industries s uch as Infineon and AMD\, the location for this years Nanofair.\n\nLecture s will be given by internationally renowned speakers and sufficient time w ill be available for discussions in order to identify challenging problems and possible research and technology transfer projects. Activities initia ted by the participants are highly welcomed and are a prerequisite for the success of this workshop.\n\nhttp://server160.plu.../...amp\;Grid=0 DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20031120T190000Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Chat with Robin Hanson DTSTAMP:20071123T091314Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:0143693bec6f3f17bbd8b882815a93c6@66.49.222.202 ORGANIZER;CN="Bruce Klein":support@imminst.org DESCRIPTION:Chat with Robin Hanson \nEconomics\, Singularity\, Transhuma nism DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20071125T003032Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Phoenix Longevity Conference (AZ) DTSTAMP:20031212T075959Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:84130cf95482c4884de94dd955103405@66.49.222.202 ORGANIZER;CN="Bruce Klein":support@imminst.org DESCRIPTION:\nhttp://www.phoenixconference.org/\n\nDec 11 - 14\, 2003\nS cottsdale\, AZ\n\nThis collaborative conference brings together some of th e best minds in the field of longevity science and medicine.

There are se veral reasons why this region'\;s high-level high-tech players consider the Nantucket Conference a must-attend gathering. \n\n\n\nFirst\, there a re unique opportunities for exchanging ideas and networking in a relaxing\ , informal environment. We acknowledge that much of the value of the Nantu cket Conference comes from impromptu hallway conversations\, serendipitous seatings at lunch\, and walks around town. Nantucket is a place for havin g fun\, doing business\, and making new connections. \n\nSecond\, sessions on Nantucket elicit the kind of real-world war stories and insight that y ou don’t hear at any other conference. All proceedings of the Conference a re off-the-record\, which gives presenters a chance to talk openly and hon estly. We limit the use of PowerPoint and forbid blatant company pitches. Also\, since there is precisely no difference in the caliber of people on stage and those in the audience\, there is always plenty of opportunity at each session for interaction and debate. \n\nhttp://www.nantucketconferen ce.com DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20040429T200000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
