Aubrey's lecture + debate free income? Other: 50 euro for 2 days; 25 euro per day?

This schedule was made taking into account the wishes of the speakers and a logical order e.g. introductions first, all lectures about centenarians scheduled after each other,…

I only glanced at this earlier, but upon closer examination, I can't help but notice a somewhat biased distribution of time.

Contrast:
An hour and fifty minutes for yourself, with room for an extra quarter of an hour expansion, not counting to potential to run into dinner, twice, and on top of that an extra 20 minutes for someone else to talk about your organisation.

With:
Twenty minutes for me, with no time for questions.

Additionally, your scheduling is from 8am to 9pm, and the venue is booked by default from 9am to 5pm. I will need to negotiate with the venue for extra use if 16 hours aren't enough for our purposes.

For the moment, I'll shuffle some things around and see what I can come up with; I will hopefully have chance to do this before our meeting later today.

Following our meeting earlier today, here is a revised schedule.

Sven, I had to make a couple of further adjustments after our meeting. This included moving Aubrey's bits to Saturday, because he actually said in his reply to your email that he was probably available both days, but Sunday was uncertain, so to please schedule him for Saturday. So I've done this now. This adjustment threw the rest out of place slightly, so I've shuffled some parts around a little to compensate.

After adding in the breaks, we still had one last 40 minutes slot spare, so I propose to have Dr. Gavrilova over, unless you have a better alternate suggestion.

So here is what we now have (assuming green lights from Caliban, Chitty Chen, and Vincent).

All presentation titles are place-holders, with nicer titles to come from speakers.

Chitty confirmed this morning.

Seems like a good schedule. Yes, it would be nice to have Gavrilova over.

You can add MSc behind Vincent's name. I don't think that Heales can fill 40 min. The same might be true for Caliban (we should ask). I've looked at the SENS4 agenda and the long lectures were 30 min. and the short ones 15 min. For myself too, I can talk for 40 min. about metformin but should so much time be spend on this? In my original schedule I had given myself 20 min. for the metformin lecture and I think that this is enough. I would rather like to give 2 lectures of 20 min. than one of 40 min. Maybe a second lecture about glucosepane? For you I think that it is OK to speak for 40 min. about cryonics because I suspect that you will show how the stabilization procedure is done (and that takes some time)?

Great.

Excellent. Could you let them know, please?

You can add MSc behind Vincent's name.

I don't think that's a good idea. If I put post-name letters for one person, I have to do it for everyone, and I don't know what everyone's qualifications are.

My ego can survive me being listed as "Mr. David Styles", rather than "Mr. David Styles BA (hons) OPEN" if it means avoiding offending other speakers by missing out a stack of qualifications after their own names.

If you really think it'd be best to include people's degrees, then I'll need to get full lists of post-name letters for all the speakers, and for some of them that'd mean asking the speakers since their qualifications aren't anywhere obvious online.

On that note, do you have any pictures for speakers for whom I haven't already added bios on http://imminst2010.com/speakers.html ?

Many thanks.

I've made some adjustments; see edited post above. I've left Caliban's be until I hear from him.

For you I think that it is OK to speak for 40 min. about cryonics because I suspect that you will show how the stabilization procedure is done (and that takes some time)?

I recently lectured on cryonics at Oxford University; spoke for 40 minutes and fielded questions some time after that. That was a general introduction; "Cryonics: What, why, and how?", aimed at a mixed audience of 60 or so scientists, engineers, and philosophers.

This will be a much more specific presentation, but let me worry about that 40 minutes will be fine; if it were to be adjusted either way I'd take more time, not less, but there isn't reasonably time in the schedule for that, so I'll keep things pretty concise to fit a presentation and a bit of question time into 40 minutes.

[caliban]

I can now confirm attendance and I'm happy to fill any slot you guys work out.

12:00 - 13:00 Debate (1hr) Is radical life extension desirable?

Who is debating? Will this be the press pitch?

[s123]

Correction: glucosepane

Who is debating? Will this be the press pitch?

Yes, Aubrey's lecture and the debate will have free access. Aubrey will debate with Laura Capitaine (must still confirm). We are searching for one other person (maybe Richard Dawkins).

I've asked for a picture.

He is also the founder of a new reliability theory of aging and longevity.

This seems to be a strange way to formulate this.

I just copied and pasted. Do you have a preferred way of putting it?

[David Styles]

I adjusted the schedule according to Dr. Coles' requests.
