ADVANCING BENEFICIAL NANOTECHNOLOGY
Focusing on the Cutting Edge
13th Foresight Conference
October 22-27, 2005
San Francisco Airport Marriott Hotel
======================
Join us for five days dedicated to cutting edge nanotechnology. The four stand-
alone, complimentary sessions - Vision, Policy, Applications and Research - are
designed to give both veterans and newcomers a thorough understanding of the
most important issues in advanced nanotechnology.
Conference attendees will have the opportunity to discuss the potential of
nanotechnology, learn about current public policy issues, understand critical
applications and see the most advanced technical research.
======================
VISION WEEKEND
Saturday - Sunday - October 22-23, 2005
The Foresight Vision Weekend is THE place where ideas generated today lead to
future realities tomorrow. This annual event offers a rare opportunity to hear
world-class speakers discuss the future of nanotechnology candidly and off-the-
record. Opening with a reception on Saturday night, the brainstorming continues
on all-day Sunday. Bring your own version of nanotechnology's future and join
this mixture of executives, engineers, research scientists, investors, writers,
artists, and futurists.
Exclusive to Foresight contributing members, we encourage individuals interested
in how nanotechnology will change the world to become a member and share
their voice. Contact Foresight at foresight@foresight.org about becoming a
member or join online at

POLICY
Monday - October 24, 2005
Policy Co-Chairs:
Christine Peterson, Foresight Institute
Richard Smith, Nanotechnology Policy Foundation
This day focuses on current public policies and strategies that need to be
adopted
to ensure that the nanotechnology revolution will unfold for the benefit of
all.
Speakers will discuss topics including: issues with current U.S. policy in
nanotechnology, assessing the U.S. research portfolio, international
nanotechnology
programs, policy options, regulatory models, the politics of research, ethical
issues, security strategies, and the public perceptions of
nanotechnology.
Policy professionals, government representatives, executives, investors, public
interest representatives, professional/trade association representatives,
economic
development officers, and the general public are encouraged to attend.

Charles E. Harris, Harris & Harris Group
This day covers critical applications that address the Foresight Nanotechnology
Challenges
and are the stepping-stones towards advanced nanotechnology.
Speakers will address current applications and their future uses in the
following
areas: energy, water purification, environment, medicine, agriculture,
information technology, space, military, intellectual property, and economic
development.
This session is tailored for executives, investors, policy professionals, public
interest representatives, professional/trade association representatives,
economic
development officers, researchers, technologists, and the general public.

RESEARCH
Wednesday - Thursday, October 26-27, 2005
Research - Co-Chairs:
William A. Goddard, III, Caltech
Charles M. Lieber, Harvard University
As the original focus of the Foresight Conference, these days focus on the most
exciting research advances in the field, including those that are leading
towards
molecular machine systems and molecular manufacturing. Academic,
government and corporate researchers will discuss their fascinating recent work.
Researchers, technologists and others that want to see the cutting edge of
nanotechnology are encouraged to attend.
