[Noisebridge-discuss] SETIcon, a conference mashing up sci-fi + science

[Ariel Waldman]

Thought a number of people from Noisebridge might be interested in this
upcoming event in the SF Bay Area:

http://seticon.com

It's a conference (June 22-24) organized by the SETI Institute that mashes up
science fiction with science and space exploration. I attended in 2010
and really loved it.

Description from the organizers:

"SETIcon envisioned and organized by the SETI Institute, is a unique,
entertaining
and enlightening public event where science and imagination meet.
SETIcon brings
together innovative scientists, science fiction authors, space and science
artists, space lovers, and the curious and adventurous everywhere for a
3-day public celebration and exploration of space, real science,
technology, imagination, and science education. There is no other event in
the world like SETIcon that explores space and the human imagination
through the lens of real science, attracting global interest and
participation. This is not a science conference with technical lectures
(SETI Institute scientists lecture all over the world), nor Comic-Con, or
another Star Trek type conventions. SETIcon will create a new channel of
discussion between Earthlings where real science and imagination will meet."

Hope to see some of you awesome people there!
