Humanity+, UK 2010 « dw2. Registration is open: Humanity+, UK 2010 The Humanity+, UK 2010 conference, to be held in central London on Saturday 24th April, will be tackling some big questions: How will accelerating technological change effect human mental and physical capabilities? What opportuntities and problems will these changes bring? How will these changes impact the environment? How will society, political leaders and institutions react? In short, Humanity+, UK 2010 is a conference about the future of humanity and the future of technology – and about the forthcoming radical impact of technology on our lives. Along with some friends and colleagues, I’ve been helping to arrange a first-class line up of speakers for this event.

The speakers include many of the pioneering thinkers of the modern transhumanist movement – also known as “Humanity+“. The conference website is now open for registration. If any member of the press would like to book interview time with one or more of the speakers, please get in touch. OSiM World - Welcome. WorldEcono micforum Tech Pioneers.

New technologies and innovations are constantly changing and improving the way we do things and approach problems. Processes, institutions and industries that have been around and unchanged for decades are now being rethought and redesigned with the aid of technology. Many of these adaptions and approaches are not being developed by large, established industry leaders but rather by their smaller, early-stage counterparts. This year, the World Economic Forum is pleased to present 36 leading start-ups selected as Technology Pioneers 2014. The class is particularly diverse, providing new solutions to a number of challenges, including technologies for a greener and more sustainable planet; the deployment of precise and targeted therapies in the treatment of cancer and other diseases; the rethinking and redesign of how we deliver education; a robotics renaissance; the creation of a more personalized Internet experience; and the initiation of a “sharing” economy, to name a few.

Transmediale. ElectroSmog Sustainable Immobility. March 18 – 20, 2010 Concept ElectroSmog is a new festival that revolves around the concept Sustainable Immobility. The festival will introduce and explore this concept in theory and practice. With Sustainable Immobility we refer to a critique of current systems of hyper mobility of people and products in travel and transport, and their ecological unsustainability. The exploration of Sustainable Immobility is a quest for a more sustainable life style, which is less determined by speed and constant mobility. A lifestyle that celebrates stronger links to local cultures, while at the same time deepening our connections to others across any geographical divide, using new communication technologies instead of physical travel .

What we propose may sound a bit like a paradox: The proposition of the festival is that the unfolding crisis of mobility can only be effectively addressed by deepening our connections across geographical divides through new communication technologies. . • Witnessed Presence.

While London is regarded as the centre of Europe’s tech start-up scene, it hasn’t yet produced the number of internationally respected, big-name companies it could have. If start-ups had somewhere central to work, hold meetings, collaborate and just hang out maybe things could be different.

That’s the idea behind TechHub, a project that plans to create a co-working environment for Europe’s start-ups in the heart of London. The brainchild of entrepreneur Elizabeth Varley, with TechCrunch Europe’s Mike Butcher as its chief cheerleader, TechHub aims to create a focus point for the continent’s next generation of tech start-ups. With plans to be situated in the Old Street ‘Silicon Roundabout’ area, TechHub aims to be “affordable, accessible, but at the same time create the right atmosphere and bring together the right people – the people who really do want to “change the world”.” TechHub hopes to attract businesses from across the world.
