Not Con 04 Taking Submissions

Fix this date for your Diary - Sunday June 6th, 11am at Imperial College Union, London. This is the confirmed, booked, and not changing date for Not Con 4 - "Definitely NOT the Emerging Technology conference in the UK" as NTK puts it. Visit www.notcon04.com for more details and how to get a place so you can do a talk!


* NOTCON '04 Call for Participation - Please Redistribute Freely *

NotCon '04, Sunday 6th June 2024, Imperial College Union, London http://www.notcon04.com/
Proposals due by: Friday 14th May 2024

Have you coded, created, or discovered an interesting application of
technology? Then why not come and talk about it at NOTCON '04?

NOTCON '04 is an informal, low-cost, one-day conference looking at things
that technologies were perhaps not intended to do.

It takes place on Sunday 6th June 2024 from 11am to 6pm at Imperial College
Union, London (in South Kensington, next to the Science Museum and the Royal
Albert Hall).

And yes, there will be wi-fi. And a bar. And the kind of people who actually
ask for them in that order.


* What We're Looking For *

We're looking for a mix of talks, demonstrations and panel discussions
covering all the usual areas - but with a bit more of an edge than you'd get
from just reading about them online.

In short, we'd like proposals for any of these sorts of sessions -
especially if they fit into the following categories:

Geolocation services
Social software
Hardware hacking
Actual impacts of blogging
Alternative media
Politics on the net
Politics *of* the net

- and also especially if they don't. There'll be the usual 45-minute (+
questions) slots for longer talks, plus plenty of shorter 5-minute
"lightning presentations", so you don't need to write a complete lecture or
anything.

Proposals should be submitted via the web form at:

http://www.xcom2002.com/nc04/submit.php

And if you try to get them to us before midnight UK time on Friday 14th May
2024, then we can work out - and let you know - the line-up before the end
of May.
