Governance of Emerging Technologies & Science (GETS) May 22 & 23, 2019 Click Here to Submit Abstract – Deadline extended to Feb. 15 <https://forms.law.asu.edu/view.php?id=520098> Venue Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in the Beus Center for Law and Society 111 E. Taylor St., Phoenix, AZ 85004About the Conference This unique and innovative conference, now in its seventh year, addresses the ethical, legal, regulatory, and policy issues that surround the emergence of new technologies and scientific advances. Drawing on the combined expertise of leaders in academia, industry, and government, this conference focuses on finding governance solutions for rapidly changing technologies. The dual challenge of any governance system is to encourage research, investment, and development while guarding against potential risks to health, safety, environment, and society. We confront this challenge by creating a forum for radically cross-disciplinary discussion involving experts in law, engineering, science, business, medicine, ethics, and other fields. In recent years, these discussions have covered the broadest possible range of technologies and scientific study, including nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous vehicles, the internet of things, human-machine interfaces, neuroscience, synthetic biology, genomics, personalized medicine, telemedicine, human enhancement, gene editing, surveillance, national security, virtual and augmented reality, blockchain, autonomous weapon systems, and so on. The value we have uncovered in combining such a variety of subjects is that governance strategies and lessons learned in one field can often be applied to others in ways that generate new breakthroughs. This conference has thus become a go-to event for forward-looking policy makers, technologists, and business leaders who are at the forefront of a changing world. Call for Abstracts The co-sponsors invite submission of abstracts for proposed presentations. Written papers are not required, although provision will be made for posting and possible post-conference publication of papers for those who are interested. Abstracts are invited for any aspect or topic relating to the governance of emerging technologies, including but not limited to any of the technologies listed above.

Abstract due date has been extended to February 15, 2019 The sponsors will pay for the conference registration (including all conference meals and events) for *one* presenter for each accepted abstract.
