InfoCamp Seattle 2007

The Pacific Northwest Chapter of ASIS&T - in partnership with the ASIS&T, University of Washington Student Chapter - is holding the first annual InfoCamp Seattle, October 13th & 14th, 2007 at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center in Seattle Washington.

This two day event will be a BarCamp-style conference focusing on information architecture, libraries, library services, user experience design, interaction design, usability, information retrieval, user-centered design, information science research or any other field where information plays a vital role. It will feature a flexible format with no pre-set session schedule, except for the keynote and plenary sessions at the beginning and end of the conference. Session topics will be decided at the start of the conference by the attendees, and any attendee can sign up to present in any slot. Presenters will have a chance to pitch their topic at the main stage to everyone before each session.

The philosophy of this event is “no spectators!” Everyone in attendance will be encouraged to participate, attendees should come prepared to present on a topic of interest regardless of how developed the ideas are. Whiteboards, projectors and screens will be provided as attendees bring laptops, PowerPoint slides, posters or just some wacky ideas to present in order to generate a discussion with the community. This is a great opportunity for attendees to get feedback and ideas from a group of people with similar interests and create connections within their professional community. An opening and closing speaker will be predetermined by the event committee, but all other presentations will be given just-in-time by InfoCamp attendees.
