Congratulations on surviving your first week (or your first week back)! We had a great time meeting all of the incoming students at the iFair and our Agua Verde welcome lunch. If you weren’t able to stop by at either activity, there are plenty of other events that you can participate in later this fall.
InfoCamp Seattle
InfoCamp is an unconference for the information community. It features an egalitarian, community-driven format in which the agenda is created during the event — so anyone can sign up to lead a session!
What: InfoCamp Seattle 2013
When: October 12 & 13
Where: Mary Gates Hall, University of Washington
We’ll be gathering once again at the University of Washington’s beautiful Seattle campus on October 12th and 13th. The Saturday opening festivities and keynote will be in the Kane Hall auditorium. The Sunday plenary as well as the sessions designed and led by you, our fearless InfoCampers, will happen in Mary Gates Hall.
This year, our Saturday opening keynote will be given by Joan Vermette. Joan Vermette is a User Experience Designer with Mad*Pow (http://www.madpow.com) in Boston, MA and creator of the game Organizational Parkour.
