WhereCampPDX 6 is coming! – September 27–29, 2013

 

WhereCampPDX is a free, annual unconference for people interested in geography and related technologies. This year’s WhereCampPDX will be happening September 27–29 at the Metro Regional Center and other Portland locations. If you'd like to join us, please register for free.

 

What's a WhereCamp?

 

WhereCamps connect geo-enthusiasts, developers, social place hackers, artists, activists, grad students, geographers, earth scientists and anybody else who wants to "know their place".

Popular topics include social cartography, software and hardware, context  awareness, mobile development, humanitarian mapping efforts, food webs and local food transparency, transit, psychogeography, geo games, paper maps, and place hacking.

WhereCamp is an unconference, which means it has little to no pre-selected content. Instead, the content is provided by the participants once they arrive. Everyone gathers in the morning to propose sessions and schedule them in blocks throughout the day. Sessions take many forms, from prepared talks to open discussions to running around outside with balloons. We value open participation, providing access to new voices, and lowering barriers to participation. The result is a fun event is driven by the interests and talents of the participants.

When & Where is WhereCampPDX?

 

WhereCampPDX 6 will be held September 27–29, spanning Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Please register for free if you're planning to attend, so we can accurately plan for food and such.

To kick things off, we’ll be hosting an opening party on Friday night with food, drink, and casual geonerdery. On Saturday, the Metro Regional Center will host our unconference day from 10am to 6pm. Sunday plays host to a variety of geo-related games and activities at locations throughout central Portland. We're currently looking for people to run things on Sunday, so if you have an idea, please let us know.
