May 14, 2008

The Berkman@10 conference is underway!

Live webcasts and social tools are running during the conference. If you unable to attend in person, please join us in cyberspace...

WEBCASTS: Webcasts of plenary sessions plus live videoblogging.

SOCIAL TOOLS: Tagging, Twitter, and much more.

AGENDA: Tomorrow, we will host conversations with Internet luminaries, including Esther Dyson, Michael Fricklas, Reed Hundt, Jimmy Wales, and the Berkman faculty directors. These conversations will be webcast. On Friday morning, we will present six concurrent sessions on various facets of openness, considering its role in learning, architecture, language, innovation, global action, and the public sphere. Later, conference-goers will participate in a series of breakout sessions, including some that have been designed before the conference and some that are self-proposed. Josh Marshall will deliver a keynote at lunch on Friday. (The luncheon keynote will be webcast, along with closing remarks later in the day.)

GALA: On Friday evening, we will present the first-ever Berkman Awards and recognize Internet innovators at the Berkman@10 Gala (open only to Gala ticket holders). Winners will be announced on the Berkman website -- stay tuned.

WIKI: If you are registered for the conference, add your name and affiliation to the wiki, pose questions, propose ideas for breakout sessions, help build the conversation. (You may also wish to review the final logistics rundown compiled last week.)

And while waiting for Berkman@10 to get fully underway, be sure to check out the classic multimedia pieces we have been retrieving and re-presenting for the last few weeks...
