PopTech Kicks Off in Camden Maine

Instead of schmoozing with Web 2.0-only folks in San Francisco, I'm in Camden Maine at the annual PopTech conference, one of my all-time favorites.

In other words, while I live and breathe all things Web 2.0, I'm missing the third Summit this year. Guys - can you coordinate with each other next year so both conferences are not happening on the exact same dates on opposite sides of the country?

PopTech's curator Andrew Zolli opens up the first morning's session. "Human Impact is the guiding force that will drive all of our conversations over the next few days," he says. "We'll talk about all aspects of human impact, including oceans, cities, sustainable agriculture, consumerism, the environment, our connections to the deepest parts of the biosphere, efforts to build an environmental back-up system and more."
