The cryonics conference is happening this year in Fort Lauderdale again, April 27-29. Do you think the meetup for April 28 could happen in conjunction with the conference? I think it might have to be closer to Fort Lauderdale itself, since most of the attendees won't have much in the way of transportation. Last year there were lots of LWers there, so it might be worth it.
That definitely sounds like a good idea. I will discuss it with the group tomorrow and see what they have to say, then get back to you. It would probably make sense for us to just head up to that instead of having our normal meetup on the 28th.
I didn't find much information on this conference - could you fill me in on any details? It looks like it's in Deerfield Beach, which isn't too far from where we meet up at all.

As usual, during this meeting we will be bringing articles of interest to discuss. We are very informal and all newcomers are encouraged to join in, even if they can't stay the whole time. We will usually have gone out for food as a group around 8pm, but typically reconvene afterward unofficially for a while longer. For more information, contact Lance Bush at cfibroward@gmail.com.
