EXTRO²

The 2nd Extropy Institute Conference on Transhumanist Thought

June 16-18 1995, Santa Monica, California at The Miramar Sheraton

PURPOSE: Extro² will be a rich, intellectually invigorating gathering designed to help push outward the boundaries of progress and possibility. It will be both a serious study and a spirited celebration of humanity’s limitless potential and how it will be achieved. Besides presentations of

accepted papers, the conference will feature lectures by leading thinkers, panel discussions, and the Extropy Awards banquet. The event will begin on Friday evening with a reception.

LOCATION: Our second conference will be held at the elegant and superbly-located Miramar Sheraton in Santa Monica, California. The tower rooms offer an excellent view, though less expensive accommodation is available nearby. The Miramar Sheraton has recently been renovated, and will have a new cafeteria and large outdoor hot tub. Conference attendees will receive about 30% off regular room rates. The beach is a minute’s walk away, as is the 3rd Street Promenade and its large number of restaurants and cafes.
