(REGISTER NOW/SOON: delegate registration fees rise after Nov. 18)

Held in association, with TIME, Fortune, CNN, Science, and Technology Review, the theme this year: "Imagined Worlds, Plausible Futures."

Join us at the TIME Conference Center as many of the most innovative people and organizations in the science and technology world will come together for an historic gathering - the 2010 World Technology Summit & Awards to celebrate each other's accomplishments; to explore what is imminent, possible, and important in and around emerging technologies; and to create the kinds of serendipitous relationships that create the future.

Extraordinary Speakers include: Ray Kurzweil, future/inventor and Singularity proponent; Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia; Adam Gopnik, author, "Angels & Ages: A Short Book about Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life; Jason Pontin, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Technology Review; among many others.

The majority of Summit participants will be either current WTN members (primarily winners/finalists from previous World Technology Awards cycles, as selected by their peers as those doing the innovative work of "the greatest likely long-term significance") or 2010 World Technology Award nominees. A combination of keynote talks, panel discussions, and breakout sessions... and wonderful networking opportunities over two days will conclude with the gala black-tie Awards ceremony on the second night (co-MC'd by myself and Ali Velshi, CNN's Chief Business Correspondent).
