We are specially proud to welcome Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commission and Commissioner for the European Digital Agenda. Furthermore on Friday the 17th of September you can hear one of the worlds most exciting speakers:

Ray Kurzweil, Inventor and futurist. He is involved in fields as diverse as optical character recognition (OCR), text-to-speech synthesis speech recognition technology, and electronic keyboard instruments. He is the author of several books on health, artificial intelligence (AI), transhumanism, the technological singularity, and futurism. Ray Kurzweil has been described as “the restless genius” by the Wall Street Journal, and “the ultimate thinking
machine” by Forbes.Inc. magazine ranked him #8 among entrepreneurs in the United States, calling him the “rightful heir to Thomas Edison,” and PBS included Ray as one of 16 “revolutionaries who
made America,” along with other inventors of the past two centuries. For a full biography please go to Wikipedia or www.kurzweilai.net for further information.

Because of the massive interest for listening to Ray Kurzweil, we have decided to make one day tickets to the AAL Forum.
