The organizers of THATCamp ARLIS/NA + VRA 2016 are pleased to announce the event will be held on Tuesday, March 8, 2016, from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm at the Westin Seattle. This pre-conference to the Third Annual Joint Conference of ARLIS/NA and VRA will bring together members of the professional and public communities to learn about digital humanities (DH) and share knowledge of tools, applications, and other DH projects.

 

What is THATCamp?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It is an unconference: an open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot. This allows for a more informal, collaborative atmosphere compared to a typical conference setting. 

 

Who should come?

All are welcome! The organizers of the THATCamp are an enthusiastic working group of both ARLIS/NA and VRA members, but this event is open to the public. Non-ARLIS/NA and VRA members are encouraged to attend!

How to register?

Attendance is limited to 75 participants to ensure an informal, lively and engaged atmosphere. Apply now to let us know why you want to attend and what ideas you want to share. Registration is free and open from October 12th - November 13th. Register here.

 

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out early in 2016 with plenty of time for attendees to make plans to attend, propose and brainstorm sessions, and discuss interests prior to March 8^th.

 

What to expect:
The unconference format allows for a variety of crowdsourced sessions and topics, and the schedule is not decided until after the accepted attendees propose sessions leading up to the THATCamp.  As a group, we will vote on the content the morning of March 8th. Those who propose events are expected to lead and moderate the self-proposed sessions if they are voted into the schedule.

More information:
We hope to have some other fun things planned that day so stay tuned by checking the blog at http://arlisnavra2016.thatcamp.org/ and following #arlisnavra2016 and #thatcamp.
