Great News! The next CyborgCamp will be in October! That means its time to start planning!

cyborgcamp-2010-planning

This meeting is everyone’s chance to brainstorm on location ideas, sponsors and speakers. What kinds of topics are of interest to you? How has the idea of Cyborg evolved over the last year? What new kinds of technologies have arrived on the scene?

We’ll discuss volunteers and the wiki too. Come along, especially if you helped make CyborgCamp PDX ’08 so excellent in the first place. Bring snacks and drinks to share with others.

This planning meeting will most likely be followed by general networking and fun at a local haunt.

RSVP on Upcoming.org

107 SE Washington Street, Suite 520

What is CyborgCamp?

CyborgCamp is an unconference about the future of the relationship between humans and technology. We’ll discuss topics such as social media, design, code, inventions, web 2.0, twitter, the future of communication, cyborg technology, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy.

CyborgCamp’s aim is to have many communication channels, such as Twitter, Flickr, UstreamTV, Video and Audio recordings and live chats displayed on the screen.
Why May 2010? In March 2010, CyborgCamp will make its way to Brazil and back before landing again in Portland, Oregon for its second year.

CyborgCamp Logo Finished

Published on November 8, 2008 in identity, news, registration and volunteers. 0 Comments Tags: cubespace, cyborgcamp, logo, twitter, tyler sticka.

We are excited to inform you that the logos for CyborgCamp PDX 2008 are finalized. They were created by the talented and witty Tyler Sticka, an award-winning Portland designer. If you like his work for CyborgCamp, you should check out Sticka’s other work. It is fascinating.

What Next?

We’re getting the registration set up so that we can provide a way for everyone to pay for their food. Else, we’re not going to know how much to order. We’re thinking delicious Greek food — because Greek food is brain food. And until we get super-hyper brain speed modulator implants, we’re still limited by our brain’s ability to think in real-time.

We’ll keep you posted on developments as they happen. Of course, you can get really quick updates (and sweet news on Cyborgs from all over the web) by following @cyborgcamp on Twitter.

Want to Volunteer?

We’re in need of four more volunteers to help out at CubeSpace at 7Am for setup. If you’d like to get a series of coffee injections and help us carry pieces of furniture around the venue with a bunch of awesome people, please contact Amber Case at caseorganic@gmail.com, or you can message her on Twitter @caseorganic.

If you’d like to volunteer with any other aspect of the camp, check out the planning wiki on CyborgCamp.org.

RSVP on Upcoming

Until we get the registration system ready, RSVP on Upcoming to let us know you’re going!
