After the lectures end (5h in the evening) we will go to 'A La Mort Subite', a pub in Brussels for informal talks. This pub is the 'home' of Heales. We have reserved a small room upstairs were we can talk without being disturbed by other people. For those who smoke (bad habit as a life extensionist), smoking is forbidden in Belgian pubs at least in those that serve food such as 'A La Mort Subite' (for most of us this will be good news ;-) ).

Not far from 'A La Mort Subite' is a restaurant where you can eat something. 'A La Mort Subite' also serves food but only basic things such as salads, sandwiches and omelets.

Don't forget to print out a city plan of Brussels (Google maps)!

I will be in Brussels the day before (Friday) in the afternoon, those interested in meeting me, send me a PM. Maybe a few guest can meet each other before the conference in this way.

Meals are not included in the conference fee. You are free to eat wherever you want. The conference room has a cafeteria where you can eat for a small prize but it is only open on Saturday in the afternoon.

To anybody that is in this position, be sure to focus in on this conference and use it to help the cause for all its worth. Get in on opportunities like this and help build and strengthen the network.

Like James Burke said, "Innovation occurs for many reasons, including greed, ambition, conviction, happenstance, acts of nature, mistakes, and desperation. But one force above all seems to facilitate the process. The easier it is to communicate, the faster change happens."

Networking keeps the potential strong. Dont sit home under a rock. Stand up in your network.
