[edit] Welcome to News Foo Camp 2010
December 3-5, 2010 at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Arizona State University Downtown Phoenix Campus, 555 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ
News Foo is a gathering of 150 key practitioners and thinkers from the worlds of journalism, technology, and public policy who are re-imagining the future of the news. It's an "unconference" where we'll share projects and ideas, and tackle challenging problems together.
[edit] Be Prepared to Demo or Speak
News Foo will be as good as participants make it. Be prepared to lead or participate in a session, ask interesting questions, show off what you're working on, and generally leave your mark on the weekend. It's a little like Burning Man in that there are no spectators, only participants (much less dust, however). People sometimes ask, "What can I do to be invited back?" and your best bet is to make a (positive) impression by engaging and presenting.
We'll put most of the program together on Friday evening at about 7:30 pm. That's your first chance to sign up to lead a session. We'll save some slots on Saturday afternoon and Sunday for those who arrive late or get inspired as the weekend transpires. We'll have a variety of spaces for sessions–-small-to-large conference rooms, open areas, and meeting-room-sized tents outdoors.
