Humanity+ conferences bring extraordinary people together from across the globe to discuss the ethical use of technology to expand human capacities. The discussions range from artificial general intelligence, to genetics, prosthetics, nanotechnology, life extension, cryonics, the singularity, global security, the environment, arts and entertainment. The Humanity+ conference in Australia in 2011 was the first-ever H+ conference in the southern hemisphere, and helped bring ideas to billions of people.

We live at a fascinating and critical time in human history, when transhumanist ideas are rapidly moving into the mainstream media and the public eye. This presents both risks and opportunities. Humanity+ is working with experienced PR professionals to strategize methods for ensuring that this increase in publicity transpires in a positive way — for example, by sending appropriate H+ Magazine articles to mainstream media sources.
Of course, Humanity+ conferences are open to everyone, not just members of Humanity+. Membership in Humanity+ brings you discounts at Humanity+ events, involvement in members-only discussion groups, and the ability to participate in Humanity+ governance. A portion of the membership fee is used to support advocacy, publicity and research on advanced technology and its implications. Email us at info@humanityplus.org for the discount code.
