Michael Strong‘s talk from the 2009 Seasteading Conference is now online:
Terry Floyd gave an unconference presentation at Seasteading09 about the possibility of holding a conference on a cruise ship. This could replace or supplement our 2010 Conference (for example, it could be in a different region like Europe, Asia, or the US Eastern Seaboard). Terry created a survey which many conference attendees have filled out, and we’d like to get y’alls responses as well.
BTW, videos from the conference should start appearing this week or next!
We at The Seasteading Institute would like to thank all of you for attending our second annual conference! We had a wonderful time, and know that many of you did as well. We’ve been very happy to hear how pleased you were with the event.
The website & blogs have been quiet because we’ve been very busy (obviously) with the conference & Ephemerisle, James & I just got back last night. I suspect this will be a bit of a decompression week for us, so don’t expect to hear much this week either, but I’ll try to get some links and roundups posted when I can.
As a reminder, Peter Thiel will be hosting the Monday Night opening cocktail reception. For those unable to make the main conference, tickets for this are currently available for $100 via the conference registration page, but it is almost full.
We’d like to remind everyone of our upcoming Second Annual Conference and First-Ever Ephemerisle Festival, where the far-flung seasteading community will gather in person to explore the theory and practice of seasteading.
We are pleased to announce two additional speakers in the engineering track: Dominique Roddier from MI&T will speak about their ClubStead design which TSI commissioned, and Miguel Lamas Pardo, an ocean engineering PhD will talk about Flotel accomodations for oil rigs
The deadline for early registration for the Seasteading 2009 Conference is this Sunday, September 13th. After that date, the rates will increase.
