Quantified Self 2012 is a conference for users and tool makers interested in self-tracking systems. It will be a "working meeting" for the QS community (50 groups worldwide), where we will gather, inspire, and learn from each other as we share and collaborate on self-tracking projects . We will also explore the potential effects of self-tracking on ourselves and society. If you are an advanced user, designer, tech inventor, entrepreneur, journalist, scientist, or health professional, please join us for a weekend of collaboration and inspiration! Note: Our first two conferences sold out, so make sure to grab your spot and register today . Most of the conference will be hands-on and interactive, with user-defined workshops on mood, data visualization, sleep, ethics, and anything else people want to see.

Mindshare 50 - May 11th-13th 2012 / "What Comes Next?" in Downtown L.A
“Mindshare’s ballooning popularity is emblematic of a generation steeped in chaos and an unabashed need for personal fulfillment. If you ever come to LA, come to Mindshare.” –Fast Company “A forum for human technology in its most literal form – shared knowledge. Fueled by fancy pastries, an exceptionally well-stocked bar and a room abuzz with stylish people.”Home | TEDxWarwick

Keystone Symposia | Scientific Conferences on Biomedical and Life Science Topics
Meeting List Search Meetings Register Submit an Abstract View Abstracts Why attend?The flagship BIA Gala Dinner continues to be the premier bioscience networking event of the year and we invite you to join us once again at the Natural History Museum. In 2011, this impressive BIA event attracted over 550 life science professionals from over 260 of the UK’s foremost biotech companies, government and the media who joined together to meet old friends and make new business contacts. To enjoy photos from the 2011 event, visit our gallery . The evening will start with a champagne and canapé reception in the stunning Earth Hall, where guests can network under the dramatic metallic globe, followed by a splendid three-course meal in the magnificent Central Hall, the home of the Diplodocus Skeleton.

Calendar | British Society for Research on Ageing
The Centre for Ageing Research is pleased to announce its first International Conference 'Ageing: Moving Beyond Boundaries', to be held at Lancaster University in the UK. The current and projected growth of older people over the coming decades is widely acknowledged as an issue that will have significant health, economic and policy implications not just at a global level, but nationally, regionally and locally. Advances in science and medicine together with the human and policy insights from the social sciences and the arts and humanities can and will make significant contributions to alleviating some of the worst impacts of mental and physiological ageing at both an individual and societal level. Critically, however, our best chance of success for addressing the so-called 'ageing time-bomb' lies in working toward common understandings of the key issues as well as developing trans-disciplinary solutions. This international conference represents a step toward this common goal.
Ageing research is driven by the need to understand how we age and to increase healthy lifespan. However, the study of ageing also reveals novel molecular, genetic and cellular mechanisms important for wider understanding of basic biology. This meeting will highlight the most exciting recent advances in ageing research. It will discuss innovative techniques and the model organisms in which they are applied, and it will consider how understanding of basic bioscience contributes to, and benefits from research into ageing.

Following our successful meeting in 2010 where a broad range of stakeholders in the field were brought together to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the field of clinical proteomics, the Wellcome Trust and EBI are holding a follow-up meeting in March 2012. Reports and papers from that first meeting were published in Proteomics: Clinical Applications and Expert Reviews Proteomics . To enhance the insight into the translation of biomarkers into clinical practice that participants of the meeting will obtain, the meeting is drawing upon the expertise of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) through our scientific programme committee. The 2012 conference will focus on the attributes of successful biomarker translation, aspects of emerging quantitative biomarker assays in the clinical chemistry laboratory, as well as in vitro diagnostic development and regulatory considerations.

The SXSW PanelPicker allows the community to have a significant voice in programming Interactive, Film, and Music conference activities for SXSWeek 2012 (March 9-18). Listening to the Online Community SXSW is a community-driven event. So, knowing what kinds of topics you want to hear at the event next March is extremely important to us. Your votes and comments account for about 30% of the decision-making process for any given programming slot. Also important is the input of the SXSW Advisory Board, which is a group of industry professionals from across the US and around the world.
SXSW 2012 - Intro
The Graduate Studies Program brings together a diverse group of the most accomplished experts in academics, business, and government with the top graduate and post graduate students and entrepreneurial leaders from around the globe for an intense 10-week summer experience. The program immerses students in an unparalleled learning environment to focus on solving the planet’s most pressing challenges using exponential & accelerating technologies. Students are challenged with 10⁹+ Team Projects, with the mission of positively affecting the lives of a billion people within 10 years. Not for you? The core curriculum is structured to give students a broad, cross-disciplinary understanding of the biggest ideas and issues in transformative technologies. Courses are structured across 10 tracks to identify and explore exponential trends as well as their potential implications and opportunities over the next decade.
