Announcing CONTACT 2012

• A Premier Forum for the Future •

Astronomers have given us a new bucketful of worlds to consider for habitable

planets and inhabitable star systems.At

CONTACT 2012 we will explore this

new galaxy of possibilities with NASA and SETI scientists, noted science fiction

authors, artists, composers, and others. (See the list at the bottom of the page.)

CONTACT 2012 will be held on March 30-April 1 at the Domain Hotel in

Sunnyvale, CA. Friday sessions will be held at the SETI Institute. Our keynote

speaker will be SETI pioneer Frank Drake.

In 2010, CONTACT celebrated the start of its second quarter century with a

resurrection of our original focus on COTI (Cultures of the Imagination). The

event was such a success that we will again return to the thrilling days of

yesteryear at CONTACT 2012 with

COTI Classic. Human and alien teams will be

recruited from our presenters and audience; and Contact between the teams will

bring the conference to a climax on Sunday. This will please those longtimers

who have been clamoring for a return for years, and newcomers who can now

join the event that made our initial conferences so successful. Award-winning

science fiction author Larry Niven will act as COTI advisor and trouble-shooter.

Since CONTACT’S birth more than 25 years ago our exciting and responsible

speculation has made our conference and organization unique and fun.

CONTACT remains committed to its original interdisciplinary, creative and

scientific approach to humanity’s future. As usual, we will offer symposia on a

wide range of topics, with speakers sharing new ideas with the audience. Our

program will be updated on our website: www.contact-conference.org.

Don't miss CONTACT 2012!
