River sent me a link to this CNET piece about a “new kind of get together,” MashupCamp. While it’s a much larger get-together than what I envision doing regionally (at least at first), I really like the format, fast-and-furious pace of presenting new ideas, and on-the-fly method for generating plans for conference topics, presenters and room locations.
Helps to have a sponsor with lots of rooms to offer.

A conference format could take many shapes. Should the hierarchy be totally flat, à la Conversation Cafés? A series of informative talks? Simultaneous panel discussions followed by Q&A? Some mix of these?
How long should the conference run?
To how many people should we limit attendance?

We need ideas for people who are making marks, blazing trails, finding new avenues or simply sharing some wisdom. Email suggestions or post ideas.

There’s a lot of important, relevant information out there to discover about grassroots media and technology issues. What have you run across that you think people should read, learn and discuss?

Initial goals for topics include: diversity of subject matter; items of strong interest to participants; reasonable number and scope; satisfying range of depth and breadth. What ideas do you have?
