I feel it is time to plan a conference on cryonics -call it the 1st World Cryonics Conference (if it really is the first) - and invite all those who are involved from all over the globe. A world conference will gurantee us lot of much needed media exposure and a boost in membership immediately following the event. The conference can be held in a central location so that it is easy for everyone to reach (shorter and cheaper flights) - for example London or Tokyo. Advance booking of boarding (Hotel accomodation) can be done individually by all members who want to participate. Conference facility can be selected within the Hotel or nearby and sponsored by the major cryonics institutes or paid for by them and collected from the members later. But I think we should wait atleast a couple of years and then plan this event - it will enable some members to collect the required finances for travel and other expenses. The dates (years) I suggest are 2003, 2004, or 2005. The venue and month can be decided in advance so everyone is prepared. This opportunity will give people like me the chance to meet the brains behind our movement and chart out a plan for the future. This could be in terms of expanding (getting more members), having a local suspension facility under the guidance of these insitutes (or in collaboration) and finding solutions to the various problems raised on cryonet. Even non members can participate if they are curious or their fields are related to cryonics. I believe we may get to see people from nanotechnology, quantum physics (computing), biotechnology and cryotechnology participate. We really have to do this some day because then and only then the cryonics movement will become truly international.
