Since the last Seattle Mind Camp, this city has long been overdue for an unconference. Thankfully, Kathy Gill of the UW Communications Dept. is stepping up to the plate with an event next Saturday, April 4th. She’s organizing PresentationCamp Seattle, modeled after a handful of recent similar events. The always fantastic Scott Berkun (author of Myths of Innovation and Making Things Happen) will be giving a keynote of sorts, and there are a few other pre-scheduled talks. In true unconference fashion, the rest of the grid will be filled in as people choose what they want present / consume. Me? I’ll be there in hopes of making my PowerPoints just a little less sucky.

In the unconference tradition (which stretches waaaay back to 2004, or so) comes InfoCamp, a BarCamp-style event for designers of information-delivery systems. The website promises that “whether you’re a librarian, information architect, technical writer, usability engineer, interaction designer, cataloger, or information science researcher, this conference will have something for you.” Nick Finck of Blue Flavor and Bob Boiko of Metatorial Services will provide keynote talks, and the rest of the conference will be planned on the fly by the participants. Meals will apparently be provided, so hey… that’s worth the $20 admission alone!
