Hey folks! I am appearing at several conventions in the next few weeks, so I’m creating a “sticky post” to let y’all know about my schedule – in case the problems I’m having with my blog software get worse, at least this will be up here to let y’all know I’ll be talking about AI, robots and writing in the next few weeks!
First up is Con Carolinas, the Carolinas’ longest running science fiction convention, where I will be on four panels and an author signing, talking about book openings, artificial intelligence, neurodivergence, and what’s possible and what’s not in science and science fiction!
Friday, May 31st:
Saturday, June 1:
- 9:30am: Trials and tribulations of AI
- 6:30pm: Neurodivergence & Writing
- 9:30pm: Is THAT Even Possible?
Sunday, June 2:
- 9:30am: Self-pub v. Small Press v. Big Press – Truths and Trends
- 12:00noon: Author Signing
Next up is the Nebula Conference, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s conference, where again I’ll be talking about artificial intelligence and signing books!
- Thursday, June 6th: 2:30pm: Anthony Francis Meet-and-Greet Table E Pasadena
- Saturday, June 8th: 10:30am: Why AI Needs Humans Pasadena
There will also be office hours but I think you have to sign up in advance for those, and we have a scheduling snafu regarding those anyway.
Finally is the Embodied AI Workshop on June 18th, hosted at CVPR, the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference, where I am the lead organizer, though you’ll probably only hear me yapping for any extended length of time if you show up in the first ten minutes – I give the intro talk at 8:50am.
Hope to see y’all there!
-Anthony
