London Lives Unconference is now a one-day conference on 5 July. If you’re thinking of attending, you may be interested to know that THATCamp London 2010 will be taking place at King’s College London on 6-7 July.
THATCamp London is a user-generated “unconference” that will be held on *6-7 July, 2010*, just before Digital Humanities 2010. At DH2010, the world’s premiere academic conference on the Digital Humanities, you will hear papers and see presentations and perhaps give a single talk yourself. At THATCamp, by contrast, you will discuss, build, argue, share, compare, create and hack: every session you attend will also be a session you participate in fully… We fully expect that having both conferences together will spark some exciting new ideas.
The deadline for applications is 10 May, but applying for THATCamp entails little more than writing an informal paragraph or two about what you’d like to discuss, build, or solve.
There is no formal connection between the two events, but if you’ll be coming to LLU and are thinking of going to THATCamp, it may well be worth mentioning when you fill in your THATCamp application (deadline 10 May). If there’s enough interest it’d be great to have a London Lives-related session and discussions at THATCamp.
