WhereCamp

WhereCamp was an unconference series at the intersection of geography, technology, design, and culture. It ran for several years across multiple cities. We helped run it — not as sole organizers, but as part of a rolling set of people who kept showing up to keep it going.

The audience, in the series' own words, was “geo-enthusiasts, developers, social place hackers, artists, activists, grad students, geographers, earth scientists, and anybody else who wants to know their place.” Topics ranged from social cartography and context awareness to humanitarian mapping, food-web transparency, transit, psychogeography, paper maps, and place hacking.

The domain has since gone dark; the link on this page points to a 2014 Wayback snapshot from back when it was active.
