Singularity University Executive Program, take 1

If the Singularity is coming, it'll happen first at Moffet Field. The disused naval airbase 30 minute' drive south of San Francisco is the site of Singularity University, where I've signed on for the first-ever executive program. This is the nine-day program's maiden voyage, and the SU geeks - led by uberfuturist Ray Kurzweil and professional game changer Peter Diamandis - have signed on a stellar faculty, including


* Dan Barry, President, Denbar Robotics, former NASA astronaut
* Neil Jacobstein, CEO, Teknowledge; Sr Research Fellow, Stanford University’s Media X Program
* Stuart Kim, Professor, Developmental Biology, Stanford University
* Daniel Kraft, Cancer/Stem Cell Biology Institute, Stanford University
* Ralph Merkle, Sr Research Fellow, Institute for Molecular Manufacturing

Kurzweil himself kicks off the festivities tonight at 7:30pm with a keynote address. I'll be blogging the speech and more over the coming week, hopefully giving you a nanobot-on-the-wall view of goings on at the Singularity's epicenter.
