BathCamp
You know the drill! A BarCamp is a type of participatory conference (or unconference, if you will), where everyone is encouraged to give short presentations, demos, workshops and so on, in a kind of ad-hoc, not very pre-planned kind of fashion. There’s also an overnight element, where attendees can literally camp out and hang out, either discussing stuff or making stuff (or both). It’s the first BarCamp to be held in Bath, England – so if you’re geeky and in the south west, sign up now! There’ll be beer, food and schwag to get your mitts on.
Speakers: you!

IDEA 2008
The IDEA Conference is a yearly conference about Information: Design, Experience and Access that is sponsored by the Information Architecture Institute.
IDEA Vision Statement…
Throughout their days, people are engaging with complex information to manage their lives.
And designers now realize that information isn’t simply this stuff you find — the appropriate presentation of information helps people make sense of the world around them.
This conference addresses issues of design for an always-on, always-connected world. Where “cyberspace” is a meaningless term because the online and offline worlds cannot be made distinct. Where physical spaces are so complex that detailed wayfinding is necessary to navigate them. Where work processes have become so involved, and so digitized, that we need new processes to manage those processes.
This conference brings together people who are addressing these challenges head on. Speakers from a variety of backgrounds will discuss designing complex information spaces in the physical and virtual worlds.
Speakers: David Armano, Chris Crawford, Bill DeRouchey, Aradhana Goel, Andrew Hinton, Jason Kunesh

An Event Apart 2008 Chicago
In late 2005, two internationally recognized web authorities—web standards godfather Jeffrey Zeldman and world-renowned CSS expert Eric Meyer—got together to create the kind of web design conference they would want to attend.
Their new conference wouldn’t be just for designers. It wouldn’t be just for coders. Attendees would gain a deeper understanding of web standards, of course. But they would also encounter a world of emerging best practices and inspiring new ideas.
Guest speakers had to stand out as well. Subject matter expertise was not enough. Each speaker had to have made unique contributions to the industry. Each had to be a star.
They called their conference An Event Apart.
Speakers: Andy Clarke, Jason Fried, Cameron Moll, Bronwyn Jones, Rob Weychert, Eric Meyer, Curt Cloninger, Robert Hoekman Jr., Sarah Nelson, Jeffrey Veen, Jason Santa Maria, Jeffrey Zeldman

WebbyConnect
Building on the success of it’s first-ever summit, The Webby Awards today announced that this year’s WebbyConnect will take place from October 22-24, 2008 at The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel.
The inaugural WebbyConnect, held in October 2007, brought together over 250 Webby academy members and leaders in interactive media, entertainment, advertising, design and politics to explore the future of the Internet and emerging media.
Arianna Huffington, Michael Eisner, and Vinton Cerf delivered keynotes last year, alongside panelists including StumbleUpon founder Garrett Camp, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake, and executives from Google, MySpace, YouTube, Comedy Central, MTV Networks, and Heavy Networks.
“WebbyConnect reinvented the industry conference by giving the wider Webby community an opportunity to connect and directly exchange ideas with some of the leading thinkers in interactive media today,” said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. “We’re looking forward to making this year’s summit even more fun, compelling, and eye-opening.”
“I thought I knew more about the Internet than anyone else on the planet,” said 2007 attendee and Webby winner Tommy Means, Mekanism’s director. “And then I stepped into WebbyConnect and it nudged my knowledge of the Internet into the holy-crap zone.”
For information on passes and registration for WebbyConnect 2008, go to www.webbyconnect.com. The preliminary schedule of keynote speakers, panelists, and panel topics will be announced in July.
