InfoCamp gives the power to the people! It turns the traditional conference structure upside-down, with most of the conference content being designed and delivered by the people who attend.

The result is a highly collaborative, vibrant atmosphere in which participants can discuss nascent ideas, emerging technologies, thorny problems, practical suggestions, and current issues.

InfoCamp Seattle 2008 is an unconference open to anyone interested in information architecture, user-centered design, librarianship, information management, usability, and related topics. It doesn’t matter if you’re a student or an established professional, in the private sector, a library, or a government agency — all interested folks are invited to register!

What will you encounter at InfoCamp? Since it’s an unconference, we can’t predict exactly what will happen! But we do know that you’ll hear from our keynote and plenary speakers, Jacob O. Wobbrock and Tamara Adlin. You’ll also participate in discussions about topics such as social media, the future of information systems, or other subjects already being suggested on the InfoCamp wiki (http://infocampseattle2008.pbwiki.com)!

Join the InfoCamp revolution! Revolution has never been so fun!

Thanks,

Your InfoCamp Seattle 2008 Organizers

Aaron and Kristen graciously cooked food for the lot of us, and we had a great initial planning meeting in which we identified roles and people responsible for roles, and then talked for a bit about the future of the ASIS&T PNW. I’m very much looking forward to doing another InfoCamp with this team, it should be a lot of fun.

We’re looking to have a much easier time this year since we have the experience of doing the conference last year, and are also starting much earlier in the year with our planning. It will continue to be an unconference serving (primarily) the PNW Information Science community.
