kengr... is being held today at CalTech.
They have a reasonable method opf proving you are a time traveller. They will be having a limited number of unique (but identical to each other) items produced at some point in the future.
If you can produce one, obviously you've been to the future.
Also acceptable are items that are obviously from the future (ie we can't make them yet).
My money says that there will be no time travellers because this is one of those places where you *know* the time cops will have a stake out.

If they do bring back new to us tech, I'd hope it come was "how to build it" instructions. Shipstones would be nice.
fusion power is a bit much to hope for.
