Are you ready for BIL 2012?!
We have booked the Queen Mary for March 2-4th 2012 for our annual Unconference of Boisterous, Illustrious, and and somewhat Ludicrous denizens. Please join us for what is going to be an amazing event!
Most of you have heard of TED or watched the talks online, but do you know about BIL, the quirky, populist, unconference taking place nearby? Open to the public and fully participant powered, BIL features a wild mix of technologists, scientists, artists, hackers, and those with a passion for community awareness. Join us March 2-4 on the historic Queen Mary, docked in Long Beach.
BIL is an un-conference — organized and observed by the participants. BIL emerged from a community of people who aspire to change the world for the better. It’s a place for passionate people to come together, energize, brainstorm, and take action! Everyone at BIL shares a common trait: BILders are the everyman thinkers and doers of today and for tomorrow.
Expect to hear a lot of topics covered, from life extension and robotics, to D.I.Y. biology, social change, the future of the pharmaceutical industry, and open hardware hacking. This year, many members of local L.A. hackerspaces and the Space Industry will participate and you can hear about the exciting technologies being developed by these amazing tinkerers. We have invited a great group of speakers, and found an amazing venue- but the rest is up to you!
Thank You to The Seasteading Institute as our supporting organization which will help us maintain our non-profit status for the conference this year!

Registration is expected from all BILders, this year- we can’t make BIL happen without your help! BILders wishing to volunteer their time to make BIL happen should contact info@bilconference.com for more information.
We need volunteers! In years past, volunteers on every level have made BIL possible. If you see something you want to criticize, then please find a way to make it better. If you think things are great and see something that could make them even better, do it. Not sure if you should do something? Ask Reichart, Simone or Cody. Want to know in advance what you could do? Here are some suggestions that can help us get the ball rolling! You can find our BIL Conference Wiki at:
