Every year, geeky idea factory O'Reilly puts on a great conference called Emerging Technology, fondly known as Etech. There you'll hear from scientists, engineers, futurists, investors, writers and artists about what's coming next for humans living in an increasingly high-tech world. The theme of this year's conference is "abundance and constraints," which could be interpreted a lot of ways — everything from creating sci/tech that works within environmental constraints, to building networks in places without power. And much more. The deadline to submit proposals and ideas to conference organizers is tomorrow at midnight. I'm on the planning committee for Etech this year, so I encourage all you visionaries, inventors, mad scientists, and sci/tech pundits to submit an idea to us! Etech takes place in March 2009, in Silicon Valley. [Submit to Etech!] More »

Are you an expert in an area of technology or science that's changing the future? Are you a futurist with bold ideas that can be applied in today's world? Are you an entrepreneur or inventor with a crazy new nanomaterial everybody should know about? Then submit your proposals to O'Reilly's annual Emerging Technology conference, a place where science fiction meets reality and new ideas are spawned. I'm on the organizing committee, and we're looking for cool demos and presentations right now — deadline is Sept. 17. Check out the full call for participation below. More »
