"Extreme Futurist Festival 2011 aims to unite the most radical thinkers around the globe in the fields of science, medicine, transhumanism, cybernetics, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, hacking, philosophy, and the arts.

EFF 2011 will be like no other festival. Picture an event where the bridge between the counterculture and academia is finally crossed. From live tech demonstrations to futuristic presentations to provocative performance art to live music we will take you off the grid as we explore a new dystopian wonderland.

If the original Burning Man was to meet the Singularity Summit you would have Extreme Futurist Fest 2011.

Extreme Futurist Fest 2011 will take place from December 16th to 17th in Los Angeles, California."

Dystopian wonderland? You mean utopian wonderland? I think dystopian carries negative connotations...

I forgot the quotations. The wording is from the event page. They probably did that on purpose. They are trying to bridge young creative teens with the world of Transhumanism more, from what I gather.
