Suspended Animation Conference 2011
Can you imagine the future? When we’ll travel to other stars. Have super-intelligent computers. Robot servants. And nanomachines that keep us young and healthy for centuries! Will you live long enough to experience all this?
“Unlikely,” you say? Not necessarily. Suspended Animation can be your bridge to the advances of the future. The technology is here today to have you cryopreserved for future reanimation. To enable you to engage in time travel to the spectacular advances of the future.
This technology is far from perfect now. But it is good enough to give you a chance at unlimited life and prosperity. Remarkable advances in cryopreservation have already been achieved. Millions of dollars are being spent to achieve perfected suspended animation and new technologies to revive time travelers in the future.
You can learn all about these technologies at a conference in South Florida on May 20-22, 2011. At this conference, the foremost authorities in human cryopreservation and future reanimation will convene at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Resort and Spa in Ft. Lauderdale. They will inform you about pathbreaking research advances that could make your most exciting dreams come true.
This conference is being sponsored by Suspended Animation, Inc. (SA), a company in Boynton Beach, Florida where advanced human cryopreservation equipment and services are being developed. After you’ve been enlightened by imagination-stretching presentations about today’s scientifically credible technologies and the projected advances of tomorrow at the Hyatt Regency, you’ll be transported to SA’s extraordinary laboratory where you will be able to see some of these technologies for yourself.
This link gives you special access to a downloadable brochure, as well as registration options, so you can get all the details of this remarkable conference that will enable you to obtain the information you need to give yourself the opportunity of a lifetime!
