WhereCamp Is Coming Back To Berlin

You can’t keep a good WhereCamp down it seems. Not content with hosting WhereCamp EU in 2011, Berlin is hosting it’s own WhereCamp, appropriately named WhereCamp Berlin.

Those of you who were in Berlin for last year’s WhereCamp EU will know that Berlin is an ideal city for a WhereCamp, offering the perfect combination of scenery, location nerds and some rather fine German beer.

If you’re interested in more details, head on over to the WhereCamp Berlin site, and for those of you who don’t speak that much German (and that includes myself) the event and the website is in English. WhereCamp Berlin kicks off on Friday June 22nd. 2012 at the campus of Beuth University.

So Berlin, have a great WhereCamp and if you’re visiting, don’t forget an Ampelmann souvenir to remind you of your WhereCamp-ing. As they say in Berlin, WhereCamp kommt zurück nach Berlin (WhereCamp is coming back to Berlin).

First some basics: what is whereCampEU?

The UnconferenceWhereCamp Europe is an unconference; inspired by FooCamp and the Silicon Valley WhereCamp which traditionally follows Where 2.0. It’s open to everyone and you drive the agenda and the sessions. It’s what you make it, so come along, listen, contribute and speak. We start with a blank programme, and you post sessions and talk about whatever you want to (as long as there is a map in there somewhere). Some people put together a great presentation, others host debates and discussion – its up to you.

Who Will Be There?
WhereCamp Europe is open to everyone; from über hacker to beginner, from GIS to neogeography, from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and beyond, from mobile, from web development. If you have an interest in geography and how it’s changing the way in which we interact with the world then you should come along. Check out the list of 2012 whereCampers!

How Do I Find Out More?
For the latest news look for the #wherecampeu hashtag on Twitter and follow @wherecampeu. Or come and contribute to whereCampEU!

Google Join Us in Amsterdam

We have some good friends who have supported WhereCampEU from the start, and we welcome one of them back as sponsor for 2012 in Amsterdam. Thanks Google!

Google is once again happy to support Wherecamp EU, much of Google’s innovation in Geo takes place in Europe with development teams in London and Zurich building the next generations of products and services, so we recognise the huge potential of the development community in Europe.

We look forward to a great weekend in Amsterdam.
