WhereCamp Boston <br>
October 28th - 30th <br>
Microsoft NERD Center <br>
Cambridge, MA <br>
</p>
<p>
What is a WhereCamp? A WhereCamp is a volunteer-created unconference for
anyone interested in geography and technology. An unconference is an
event planned by the participants through an online wiki and on the
spot. The event is open to anyone, but you don’t just attend a WhereCamp
— you can host or participate in discussions, demo your projects, or
join another cooperative event. WhereCamp topics include: GIS, web
mapping, technology, marketing, startups, development, social media,
gadgets, communities, design, hardware hacking, entrepreneurship, open
source software, mobile computing, social software, and much, much more!
</p>
<p>
WhereCamp Boston starts with Spatial Startups at Dogpatch Labs on Friday
evening. Prior to any sessions, we welcome you to come socialize with
entrepreneurs from the Boston area startup community. This is an
informal event – no schedule to speak of, but there will be a classroom
available for demos if the need arises.

WhereCamp Boston showcases a selection of keynote speakers on Saturday
and Sunday, interspersed among community-organized sessions. The keynote

Community organized sessions are the bulk of the unconference, and are
created by participants like you. Community organized sessions are
governed by the “law of two feet” – find a session that you like, and
feel free to explore the other sessions throughout the weekend. There is
a WhereCamp Boston wiki at <a href="http://wiki.wherecampboston.com/" class="urlextern" title="http://wiki.wherecampboston.com/" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.wherecampboston.com/</a> which contains session ideas and more.

<p>
We hope to see you there! <br>
