H+ Logo 250X156Humanity+ , a non-profit focused on education about the potential for human enhancement via technology, is hosting the second H+ Summit at Harvard University's Science Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Saturday and Sunday, June 12 and 13, 2010, in cooperation with the Harvard College Future Society.

The focus of 2010's H+ Summit is on the "Rise of the Citizen Scientist" and the conference is bringing together 60 renowned speakers who will explore the potential of technology to modify your body, mind, life, and world.

They will be addressing questions like, "What will it mean to be a human in this next phase of technological development?" and "How can we prepare now for coming changes?"

A few of the Summit's featured speakers include Ray Kurzweil, noted futurist, Stephen Wolfram, creator of Wolfram|Alpha, and Andrew Hessel, an outspoken advocate and champion of DNA technology. These visionaries, and other speakers, will provide an early look at the trends and technologies that attendees will be writing, speaking and communicating in the coming decades.

"The H+ Summit at Harvard is a crash course in how to accurately anticipate an accelerating future based on exponentially growing information technologies," said Ray Kurzweil. "I look forward to sharing ideas on disruptive change and also discussing my upcoming book, How the Mind Works and How to Build One."
