Every October in our hometown of Camden, Maine, we bring together 600 diverse thinkers and doers from around the world to share ideas and projects that are shaping the future. The PopTech conference, a gathering for “real thinkers” (WIRED), marks your entry into the extensive PopTech community — a mix of highly motivated and curious speakers, PopTech Fellows, and other participants. Whether it’s in the Camden Opera House listening to presenters and performers, at breakout discussions, workshops, randomly assigned lunches, happy hours or parties, you’ll form lasting connections with influencers and individuals working at the forefront of their fields. All while spending several fun days in a place Forbes calls one of “America’s Prettiest Towns.”
So, whether you’re coming to just enjoy the eclectic and original program, make new connections, find potential collaborators, or all of the above, there’s a place for you at PopTech.
Participants learn about the role of new technology in shaping how we share stores in the "Future of Storytelling" session, led by Nancy Duarte, on Friday afternoon
