The Accord is currently requesting any and all Capsuleers who wish to express interest in speaking at the event please contact the Selection Committee members.

I could talk about the Nation at length, and I am not a security risk, I mean how can I be a security risk if my allegiances are well known? And please don't say disinformation, because it is no fun to be accused of spreading it.

Since my mailbox is empty and you've only asked here, I'm personally assuming that you're either not serious or you're in the process of composing a mail with a top-knotch explaination of why we should let a former member of Shaktipat Revelators and known ally of Sansha's Nation forces past the security check.

At this point I would just like to remind people that we do not persecute ideological or religious beliefs, or apply guilt by association. Actively assisting Nation militarily or by subterfuge however, will not stand you in good stead from a security perspective.

Valentina, they think you are going to walk into the conference and explode, covering them in mind-controlling nanites that will force them to bend the knee to Nation.

They think this because they are now completely insane.

Actively assisting Nation militarily or by subterfuge however, will not stand you in good stead from a security perspective.

I would be glad to relinquish the custody over the SEYCON03 Lobby and SEYCON03 Auditorium Neocom channels.

If the counteroffer is right, offcourse.

Many thanks for your generous and heartfelt offer, Michael. Regrettably, we've long ago taken steps to render it an unneccessary gesture and so will be turning you down. Keep your channels open and we'll let you know if things change.

Tib and Val - I can only reiterate what my colleagues have attempted to enlighten you with. If you feel you have something of worth to present - as opposed to the snarky rhetoric you're currently spouting - follow the procedure. Submit your talk, paper or abstract to the review committee and put your ISK where your mouth is.

What's the worst that can happen? A rejection from those you've deemed 'completely insane' - hardly something to fry your implants over is it?

Those who are intending to submit should be reminded that while the focus of the Seyllin conferences in the past has been Sleeper technology, w-space exploration, rogue drones, the War of Resurgence and Sansha's Nation other topics which stand to benefit or educate humankind across the cluster are certainly of interest.

SYNE is also willing to assist in whatever way we can with the completion or progress of research you feel may be of relevance. Appropriate contacts have been listed in the original post or you can touch base through SYNEPublic galnet channel.

A sincere plea to get access to a transcript afterwards?

Tib - as noted in the original post, for the moment we are only announcing the event and calling for interested parties to submit applications to present. It's encouraging that there are those who want to show their support for the conference by posting to the discussion thread but we're not really discussing 'rules' for attendees.

Your interest being what it is instead let's refer to previous conferences as a guideline. In the 2nd Seyllin conference, at the height of the incursion/abduction phase of the War of Resurgence, attendance was open and there was literally a block of audience members pledging loyalty to your own current faction du jour. Many others in the audience cast disparaging comments and glared furiously at this group. There also might have been some gnashing of teeth but I can't remember any knee-cappings, serious maimings or grotesquely disfiguring injuries being inflicted on the loyalists.

In addition the conference is generally broadcast live over neocom channels and may feature a holonet interface allowing capsuleers to participate remotely. Yes, you miss some of the live ambience - but it's an alternative in case you find the doors barred for whatever reason.

Failing all else you would be entitled to decry us again as 'completely insane', storm out theatrically and go about your business of ruthlessly enslaving the will of humanity to your master's megalomaniac whims and desires.

Disclaimer: For those unable to read between the lines some parts of the above have been very much tongue in cheek. What follows is all "serious business".

At this point in time I can't provide you with a list of things you'll need to 'submit'. As conveners we'll run our own security checks and reserve the right to exclude anyone we deem an unacceptable risk. The transcripts of past conferences being on the public record, you will see that this has previously been a rare event and confined to those who prove disruptive to proceedings. Should it occur we do not enter into discussion of such cases in a public forum.

At no point will we be sharing the inner workings of our corporation's or the conference's security detail with you or anyone else outside SYNE or the CEIM alliance.

I hope this suffices and again appreciate your continued interest in the conference.

Another question. If I were to send an AI holographic doppleganger, would that be acceptable as well?

Due to the controversy of 'farming Nation' for profits during Incursions, I have to ask:

Would those who participated in those activities be flagged?

I will bring this up with the committee, but seeing as the holo-interface is closed system, I cant see much wrong with this. I will need you to send some details about the AI and also why you would use an AI in your place.

Another question. If I were to send an AI holographic doppleganger, would that be acceptable as well?

Given that AI technology and its development is currently heavily restricted/outlawed by CONCORD and this conference falls under the jurisidiction of laws governing capsuleers I would think that any use of an AI regardless of its purpose is completely unacceptable.

Under current plans, which will remain fluid until the conference is finalised, you can open a channel from your capsuleer interface to a holoprojector on-site and interact in the exact same way you do with multiple other NEOCOM outlets. If this is insufficient, let me know in private messaging and I'll make sure your concerns are heard before details are set in stone.

Will there be a syllabus or agenda for the conference released beforehand?

After voluntarily sticking myself planetside for months at a time, this would be a good opportunity for me to get current on these matters. I shall do my best to attend if permitted, and if asked to, I am open to discussions regarding events personally experienced during the "abduction" phase of the incursions.

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately we are preparing a finalised timetable at the moment, so it may not be possible for you to present. However each presentation will have a Questions and Answers segment, to which all are more than welcome to contribute.

It was interesting to watch ANSHAR undock a carrier to deal with Tarqeus's dramiel, though, shortly before we vacated the system.

I maintain that the easiest way to deal with trouble is to engage with excessive force. We had several incidents over the weekend, mostly from local pirates, who were quickly forced off the field due to our presence.

It was nice to see TSF present, and I do not condone the decision of the organizers to bar you from the conference in person. Regardless, the talks were interesting, and I enjoyed the drinks security were provided with in the lobby afterwards. I look forward to attending next year's conference.

On a side note, a number of people have been asking me for links to the full paper I presented on the Saturday. It can be found here.

hello i would like to request a full transcript of the meeting thank you
