The Nanotechnology Revolution conference combines Technological information Legal information, and Public Policy information

On behalf of The Engineers' Council, I invite you to participate in The Nanotechnology Revolution conference, on Friday, February 23rd, 2007, at the Sportmen's Lodge in Studio City, California. There are strong forces acting on our modern world: population pressures, technological unemployment, the emergence of the Asian economies, the growth in international trade, globalization, the energy and environmental limitations, and the birth of the "platform" company. Opponents of the notion of technological unemployment point out that when farmers productivity boomed, jobs moved to factories, and then to services.  Where will the new jobs come from? We believe the burgeoning field of Nanotechnology can create new American jobs.  Come and get an insight into the future job market. Rapid economic development resulted in the potential for crisis in the energy and environmental arenas.  Some revolutionary Nanotechnology solutions are already successfully addressing them.  Come and hear about some of those newest nanotechnologies. Globalization is changing our lives in many ways, such as the birth of the "platform" company: lean, entrepreneurial, profit-focused, factory-less creator of wealth.  The Nanotechnology field appears particularly fertile for them.  Come and see why. The Nanotechnology Revolution: Who will be the winners?  Which countries will lead the way?  Which companies will dominate the field?  Come and listen to our panel of world experts. We are looking forward to your presence, Dr. Patrick Berbon
