Three, Two, One… Pop!Tech
October 14th, 2007
?
And the countdown begins: only 3 days until the start of this year’s Pop!Tech, the annual “social innovation network” gathering in Camden, Maine. The tagline of this year’s conference is “The Human Impact” - a theme that’s appropriately broad enough to cover the eclectic array of scheduled speakers and performers, including marine ecologist Enric Sala, leading Islamic thinker and Grand Mufti of Bosnia Mustapha Ceric, legendary toy designer Caleb Chung and health care entrepreneur Victoria Hale, founder of the world’s first non-profit drug company.?
IMHO,one of the coolest things about Pop!Tech is that it relentlessly reinvents itselfeach year with a host of new sessions and experiences. This year is no different: special Wednesday pre-conferenceevents include an oceangraphic expedition, an introduction to the Slow Food movement and a session on “mobile empowerment.”?
Can’t make it Camden this week? No problem: in addition to the entire event being simulcast live, a host of global bloggers will be live-blogging in seven languages: English, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Farsi and Kiswahili.
