We’re thrilled to welcome so many people to Wake Forest for THATCamp Piedmont 2016! Pre-registration has now closed. You may still register in person on the morning of the event, but meals will not be included. We hope to see you there!

We regret that we do not have the resources to officially provide childcare, and we are aware that lack of available childcare might prevent people from attending. Children are welcome as long as they are accompanied by an adult at all times. Be aware of the potential for some sessions to cover topics not suitable for children. Food will only be provided to registered attendees, so please plan accordingly if bringing a child. Thank you for understanding and please contact Kimberly Scholl at schollkt@wfu.edu if you have any questions.

Who? Anyone with energy and interest in the humanities or technology should attend! Hosted by the Wake Forest University Humanities Institute and Z. Smith Reynolds Library.

What? An unconference focused on the humanities and technology! THATCamp Piedmont 2016 will be an informal, one-day gathering to share ideas, insights, resources, questions, problems, tools, methods, and projects about digitally inflected humanities research and pedagogy.

When? Wednesday, May 11, 2016

Where? The Reynolda Campus of Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC.

How? Participants create the program on the first day, rather than a planning committee creating the program beforehand. We won’t deliver presentations — instead, all participants in an unconference are expected to talk and work with fellow participants in every session. An unconference is to a conference what a seminar is to a lecture; going to an unconference is like being a member of an improv troupe, whereas going to a conference is (mostly) like being a member of an audience.

Why? To provide an open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot.
