The program will consist of talks about various topics related to

that have made the previous Transvisions so enjoyable, allowing
Transhumanists from all over Europe to exchange ideas, views and
far-flung speculations. Full board and lodging are provided. The
conference will begin with a dinner on Friday evening; wrap-up and
departure will be on Sunday afternoon.
