Charting the Next Course
SocialDevCamp East is the Unconference for Thought Leaders of the Future Social Web
Where is the social web going? It's going mobile, to geocentric services, and to open platforms. Join a community of like minded developers, social media gurus and thought leaders for an unconference to discuss the future of the social web.
We're looking for thought leaders from DC to Boston to meet, forge relationships, and envision the future.
SocialDevCamp East is convenient to the entire east coast corridor via Amtrak. Just travel to Baltimore's Penn Station -- University of Baltimore is two blocks south.

Event details
When
May 10 2008
8:30AM - 10PM
We recommend you get there as early as possible to maximize your input into the session selection process; similarly, stay as late as you like, there will be an afterparty gathering a short walk down the street. If you are going to have trouble getting there by 8:30 (because of train schedules or whatever), show up when you can.
Traffic Alert
If you are driving please note that the Preakness parade will be held in Baltimore from 11AM-2PM, with some street closures starting at 8:30AM. You can avoid it by arriving on time and leaving when SocialDevCamp is over. It'll be like it never happened.
If that's not your style, please read this article describing what street closures will be happening where and when. You do not want to get mixed up in this parade. You have been warned!
