Are you Singularity ?

What is Sin­gu­lar­ity ? It is a (huge) web con­fer­ence, sched­uled on Octo­ber 24–26, 2008. This event is orga­nized by Aral Balkan, an active fel­low in the Flash com­mu­nity, and he’s plan­ning to gather thou­sands of peo­ple for this large-scale video stream­ing con­fer­ence. The speak­ers list is already impressive.

Update on 23 July 2008 : “Reserve your tick­ets today. Early-bird tick­ets to Sin­gu­lar­ity are just $99 USD (inc. VAT) until the end of August.”

A site teaser has been released some days ago on Google app engine. As Aral wrote :

You can sign up for the site, which will go live in July, and reg­is­ter your inter­est in the conference[…]

Even though it’s a web con­fer­ence, it does not mean it’ll be free. The atten­dees will have to buy tick­ets that will be on sale on July 1, 2008 with the launch of the new site. The pric­ing is still unknown but Aral said it’s afford­able.

Can’t make a cer­tain ses­sion? No wor­ries, it’s all recorded. And atten­dees have exclu­sive access to the ses­sions for six months, at which time the record­ings for the 2008 con­fer­ence will be released under a Cre­ative Com­mons license for the ben­e­fit of all and to form a time cap­sule defin­ing Web ’08 as pre­sented by our amaz­ing line-up of speakers.

If you want to hear some words of him, the Télévi­sion Suisse inter­viewed Aral while he was attend­ing the LIFT con­fer­ence some months ago.
