CrowdSource Summit, presented by the Higher Education Web Professionals Association, is a new conference for college and university students who want to explore the many possibilities that "working on the Web" encompasses.

We'll focus on the multidisciplinary nature of Web work, moving beyond the tools and the technology to look at the human side of creating online experiences. We'll look at the WHY.

Strong speakers

Session topics include accessibility, usability, user experience, mobile interfaces, content strategy and how the web is being used to conquer the digital divide.

Registration

Registration is only $50 and includes a t-shirt, a keynote, several really amazing sessions, and great networking opportunities. There are hotel rooms available to make attending the Saturday sessions easier!

Discounts available

Group discounts are available; email [email protected] for details.

I know, it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but considering how fast things book up this time of year, I thought it best that we reserve our space right away. Thanks Ara for all of your help with this!

Participating in the holiday white elephant gift exchange is purely optional. If you would like to play, bring a WRAPPED gift, but don't spend more than $10-ish. The giving of used gifts is equally acceptable. Gifts don't necessarily have to be photo-related; a number of tacky/gaudy, funny gifts have shown up in the past that were a real hoot (ex. last year’s leopard print snuggie). Yes, the stealing of gifts is encouraged during the game, so be prepared for a raucous and rowdy time!

Note: The usual monthly photo contest will be on hiatus until the January meetup
