Not to mention frequent interviews and appearances on such programs as Larry King Live, 60 Minutes, and Nightline. Dr.Kaku will be speaking and signing his new book, "Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel". More information on Dr. Kaku can be found on his web site, www.mkaku.organd, of course, our website. Please Note: Dr. Kaku will only be appearing Saturday afternoon!

Our next first time guest is none other than the Editor-in-Chief of Scientific American magazine, John Rennie. We look forward to Mr. Rennie's insights and thoughts on a variety of scientific topics at ICON 27.

And of course, we'll have some of your old favorites returning, including hacker Izaac Falken, Anthony Leotta, Gary Shaw, and others. Check the Science and Technology page at I-CON's web site frequently in the coming weeks as we hope to add still more great guests!
