Alcor Cryonics Technology Festival
January 31, February 1-2, 1997

We hope you will all join us at this year's annual ACT Festival.  
This is a special year in that we will be celebrating a triple 
anniversary!

(1)  The 25th Anniversary of the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.
(2)  The 30th Anniversary of the Suspension of the First Man, 
       James Bedford!
(3)  The 35th Anniversary of The Prospect of Immortality!

Please join us for presentations, encounters, and conversations with
leading thinkers in cryonics and life extension.  You'll meet the
Father of Cryonics and author of The Prospect of Immortality, Robert
C.W. Ettinger,  talk with people you've only read about, see old
friends, make new friends, and know that they are the friends of a
lifetime--perhaps more of a lifetime than we can imagine.

In order to keep this special triple anniversary a personal and 
intimate experience for those attending, we are limiting registration 
to 120 people, and keeping the costs down.  Your complete 
registration is only $75.00 if you register before January 31, 1997.  
Registrations at the door (if any are still available, please call 
ahead to check) will be $95.00.

Call Alcor now at (602) 922-9013 and make your reservations.  Ask for 
Linda or Joe.   

For rooms, call the Best Western Thunderbird Suites at the
Scottsdale Airpark today at 602-951-4000.  This is the site of the
conference and the banquet.  Please book your rooms now.  Winter is
the busy season in Scottsdale. Tell them you're with the Alcor
Convention and you'll get preferred room rates.

Call today to make your reservations!  There are only 120 registration 
packages.  When they are gone, they're gone.  Hotel rooms in 
Scottsdale, in February, are just as scarce.  Don't wait and find out 
that either registration packages or rooms are no longer available.
