Day One: 1st Symposium on Molecular Machine Systems, chaired by Prof.
William A. Goddard III (Caltech) and Prof. Ralph Merkle (Georgia
Tech) will focus on state-of-the-art research.
Link
Days Two: 1st Forum on Molecular Manufacturing Applications, chaired by
Prof. Patrick Parker (Naval Postgraduate School) and Brad Templeton
(Electronic Frontier Foundation) will focus on the applications and uses for
advanced nanotechnology.

CONFERENCE BACKGROUND:
The 1st Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology: Research,
Applications, and Policy is an important event for those interested
in the Feynman goal for nanotechnology, including researchers,
technologists, policy advisors, public interest representatives,
investors, interested citizens, and those aiming at a career in the
field. The Conference will provide a stimulating multi-disciplinary
environment enabling broad exploration of this anticipated
revolution in how matter is controlled.
Unlike generic "anything under 100 nm" nanotech meetings, the
1st Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology targets the bottom-
up goal of atomically precise molecular machine systems,
enabling those focusing on this prospect to present their work to
interested colleagues, facilitating new collaborations and
potentially attracting new sources of funding.
