The Cryonics Institute Open House is entirely devoted introducing friends, family, acquaintances and other interested persons to the concepts and facilities of cryonics. Cryonics Institute Members are encouraged to bring anyone in their lives who could have a personal interest in cryonics or another reason to learn more about cryonics, such as being close to a Cryonics Institute Member and wanting to learn more about the motives and fate of that Member.

Unlike the Annual General Meeting, typically held in late September, the Open House is not a business meeting and is more focused on being a guest event. CI Members are invited to bring guests and others are invited to be a guest and/or to bring a guest. Robert Ettinger, the founder of cryonics and of the Cryonics Institute, will be attending, so those wishing to meet him will be able to do so.

Lecture: Cryonics and Rejuvenation -- Cryonics as a Life Extension Strategy
               by Cryonics Institute President Ben Best

The lecture will give an overview of the goals, methods and feasibility of cryonics -- as an introduction to the subject. The lecture will also provide an overview of cryonics organizations and cryonics technology in the world today, including probable developments in the near future -- information which should be interesting and informative for most Cryonics Institute Members. The question and discussion period may include issues of ethics and motivation as well as suggestions.
