Pop! Tech Starts Today

My favorite technology conference starts today and you can attend it too. Pop! Tech is a conference held each October in beautiful Camden, Maine. I had the pleasure of attending in 2006 and I not only enjoyed it, I benefitted from it as well.

The theme this year is Scarcity and Abundance. Speakers include Malcolm Gladwell, and Chris Anderson.

Unfortunately, the registration price has gone up and the budget has gone down. So, this year I’ll be watching the live feed, and perhaps participating in the Q and A as well. I’ll be connecting my laptop to my big screen TV to maximize my viewing experience.

Check out the schedule below.
