The Poptech website explains: Every autumn, in the beautiful seaside village of Camden, Maine, more than thirty of the world's most intriguing visionaries, innovators, leaders, scientists, intellectuals and artists come together for an extraordinary weekend to explore the future.
Well, they ran out of visionaries, and invited me.
I'll be speaking at this year's event, held October 16-19, with Kevin Sites, then-CNN foreign correspondent whose live-from-Iraq audio/photo/narrative blog I built with John Parres, and help from folks like Ev Williams, Noah Glass, Anil Dash, and Paradigm. We'll explore the impact of blogs and DIY online publishing on conflict coverage in conventional broadcast media, and Kevin will likely share news on some of the projects he's planning, now that he's back from Iraq — good stuff, and big stuff. I hope you'll consider attending the event. This year's program and participant roster (produced by Andrew Zolli) is truly fine and well worth your time. Oh, and $300 off if you register before August 15.
