About THATCamp Amsterdam

What?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” THATCamp is an unconference: an open, flat structured meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels get together in interactive sessions proposed on the spot. An unconference is to a conference what a seminar is to a lecture, what a party at your house is to a church wedding, what a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee is to an NBA game, what a jam band is to a symphony orchestra: it’s more informal and more participatory.
