[Note: if you are not or will not be in/around Vancouver, Canada on Friday or Saturday this weekend, ignore this post.]

[Meta: I would usually reserve announcements like this to Facebook events for the relevant groups, or an event on the LessWrong 'Community' page. However, Christine Peterson, co-founder of the Foresight Institute informed me on short notice on Monday she is in town for 4 days this week. To maximize visibility for these rare opportunities on such short notice, I'm posting the invitation here as well.]

Christine Peterson is a co-founder of the Foresight Institute and a host of the Personalized Life Extension Conferences, with a wide background ranging from nanotechnology to futurism.

On Friday night, she will be there for a general meet and greet, and a discussion over dinner on 2 topics: 'Effective Altruism and Long-Term Goals,' and 'Finding Your EA Life Partner.' The event starts at 5 p.m., at 6939 Frederick Ave. in Burnaby, near Metrotown. (LessWrong event) (Facebook event)
