25th Anniversary Conference @ Google

Thanks to all for a successful summer conference! We're still hearing about some great connections and synergies made at the gathering that will help further transformative nanotech. With the addition of NASA-Ames Singularity University grad students, as well as 20Under20 Thiel Fellows, there was standing room only on Sunday afternoon; we intimately filled the 236-occupant venue room, with overflow chat in the hall 'Alley'. Some quotes that rolled in just hours after the conference was over:
- "Great weekend spent with brilliant minds sharing their plans and hopes for nanotech in the future." —Louise Gold, Institute for Optimal Living
- "Excellent speakers and a great opportunity to share ideas with like-minded attendees." —Stephen Fowkes, Nanopolymer Systems
- "Great conference, and especially a great set of speakers!" —Bruce Smith, Nanorex
- "Engaging for me, a good two days. Well worth the time and money." —Robert Chew, Private Investor, Singapore
- "One of the best I have attended - informative, interesting, and definitely worth the trip." —Ravi Pandya, MS Seattle, donor since 1990
- "Awesome conference. Just about all presentations were top notch. Please keep doing this." —Peter Voss, Smart Action AI
- "Awesome conference, great discussions with very interesting people!" —Dr. Randal Koene, Halcyon Molecular
- "A very meaty program (with very healthy snacks!)" —John Chisholm, CEO
- "Had an awesome time! +++ will visit another conference from this team!" —Paul Bohm, Founder of Mjam GmbH & BBQ
- "Inspiring!" —Lerwin Liu, Nanostart and Zyvex Asia
- "Best meeting of minds I've ever been a part of." —David Atkins-Maters, Nanomaterials & Nanomedicine Research Lab, UCSD
