10th in Burlingame, CA! Hey all. If you're interested in helping work on a practical way to bring a libertarian nation into existence, consider coming to The Seasteading Institute's first annual conference. More information and registration here: http://movement.meetup.com/72/calendar/8606039/ Description: This is not a "sit around and listen to a few presenters" sort of conference. Instead, we're going to have a bunch of small workshops where groups brainstorm about solutions to some of the challenges we face, research those solutions, and come up w/ recommendations. If you are interested in particular topics, you can indicate that on your RSVP. Current topics we are considering: Business plan for seastead resort Marketing/PR: how to make our ideas sticky Transitions: How to provide an incremental path for people to transition from land to seastead life? Ephemerisle: Make it happen in 2009! Seastead design: What will the structure be and how does that impact other issues? Location: Where should the first seastead be located (or what's its migration path)? Transportation: How to get to/from (helicopters are slow, but planes are hard to land. boats are slow. What are our best options?) Government/Organization: What are good forms of seastead government for individual seasteads? How to organize multiple seasteads? International relations: trade, defense, international acceptation of seastead (and its currency and documents. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
