FashionCampNY: Where Fashion, Technology, and Media Converge

On February 20th and 21st, 2010 FashionCamp will bring together the fashion and technology communities at Parsons, the New School for Design. Fresh off the excitement of
Mercedes Benz Fall Fashion Week, Fashion Camp bridges the gap between
the worlds of fashion and technology and illustrates the many ways
they affect each other in the 21st century, exploring new techniques,
new materials, new business models, and new possibilites. For the
second year in a row, Fashion Camp will bring together the mainstream
fashion world, the indie and vintage fashion world, and the wearable
technology fashion world in a weekend of learning, networking, and
exploration.

The schedule is packed with many great work shops
and networking opportunities. Fashion Camp is a barcamp that brings
together anyone who’s interested in fashion, technology, and the intersection of the two. As
with any barcamp, the attendees *ARE* the speakers,attendees are the event
and we’ve set up a voting platform to see what people are planning on speaking about or
what attendees are suggesting to the panels If you’d
like to talk or lead a workshop, post an idea! These ideas are
non-binding, but help speakers gauge interest and help everyone else
get a picture of what will be going on.

Over the course of these two days attendees participate in open
workshops. This forward looking, participant driven meeting of the
minds and worlds of fashion and tech aims to chronicle and advance the
dialog between these two disciplines within a loose “BarCamp” styled
framework conducive to creativity, collaboration and exploration.
Discussions, demos and open participatory workshops are attended and
run by the participants. The event doesn’t cost any money, but
there is a price: most of the attendees must give a demo, present a
talk, or assist. FashionCampNY is made possible through the generous
support of community and businesses. Sponsorship and presentation
opportunities are available.
