Gala Banquet Honoring Frank Drake
Join us for a unique and memorable evening at the SETIcon banquet, honoring the life and work of Dr. Frank Drake, the father of SETI and author of the Drake Equation. Frank is celebrating his 80th year and the 50th anniversary of his ground-breaking (and star-searching) Project Ozma, the first modern SETI experiment. Tim Russ will lead off the program with his observations as an amateur astronomer. Speakers Debra Fischer, David Morrison, Seth Shostak, and Jill Tarter will discuss how the Drake Equation has impacted science and scientists alike, followed by remarks from Frank Drake himself. Meet and mingle with our guests and with others who share your interest in space, astronomy, and science. Make your reservation now!
