Going to Poptech?

Friday, August 16th, 2002

I just made my plans for the Poptech conference in Maine in October. Poptech is one of those conferences where the attendees are as much a draw as the speakers. It’s where I met Doc Searls and Angus King two years ago.

This year’s speaker list :

Amy Bruckman | Will Calhoun | Bruce Damer | Tom DeMarco | Judith Donath | Simson Garfinkel | Dan Gillmor | General Paul Gorman | Henry Jenkins | Gerard Jones | Amy Jo Kim | Angus S. King, Jr. | Ray Kurzweil | Polly LaBarre | Jaron Lanier | Steve Larsen | Bob Metcalfe | Joe Pine | Jordan Pollack | Lauren Rabinovitz | Howard Rheingold | John Sculley | Tiffany Shlain | Alexander Shulgin | Alvy Ray Smith | Elliot Soloway | Warren Spector | Linda Stone | Noel Paul Stookey | Sherry Turkle | Vernor Vinge

I’ll be there as an attendee, as will JD Lasica, I see. Anyone else?
