2006 Futurist conference in Toronto, Canada

Each year, the World Future Society hosts a multi-day conference on futurism topics in a large, accessible metropolis in North America.  The World Future Society also publishes a magazine that includes topics of interest to Betterhumans members, such as advances in biotech, nanotechnology, societal evolution, and global futures & scenarios in general.  This year, their annual conference is coming to Canada!

Below you'll find information from their latest email announcement, and their site will contain many more updates as details such as speakers become confirmed:

This is great news. I think that we should definitely organize a Betterhumans gathering there. Perhaps I'll start a thread in the forums for organizing this gathering. I may also propose a session to the WFS for the conference. Thanks for the post!
