The Singularity Summit is the leading forum on the Singularity. The first Singularity Summit was held at Stanford University in 2006 to further understanding and discussion about the Singularity concept and the future of technological progress. It was founded by Tyler Emerson, Ray Kurzweil, and Peter Thiel as a venue for leading thinkers to explore the subject, whether scientist, enthusiast, or skeptic. The Singularity Institute hosts the summit annually.

A slide presentation on the Summit is here.
