I had a question about parking so I decided to add a post with some map images to help you out.  The truth is, it could really not be easier.  There is ample free parking across the street from where we will be meeting in the lot of the old Arena and the current Bob Carr center.  CREATE is located 500 W. Livingston St. in Orlando and is, as noted, across the street from the Bob Carr Center for the Performing Arts.

The parking across the street is plentiful, as you can see in the satellite image below.

We will have the coffee hot for you tomorrow morning.

We are happy to see the registrations rolling in at an increasing pace. We are also happy to see that some adventurous Campers have begun posting their proposals for sessions for THATCamp Florida 2014. Now it is time for the rest of you to jump in and post your proposals.  You can learn more about sessions proposals and the process for submitting them here.

A quick note on our proceedings for THATCamp: as an unconference the final schedule for the weekend will be decided the morning of the 15th when we gather for breakfast. There will be a whiteboard with a schedule grid and you can all slot in your sessions when/where you feel they would fit best. Keep in mind that there will concurrent breakout sessions throughout the weekend as well as Workshops that are more formal in nature. So, as with any conference, you will not be able to make every session in full. However, unlike most conferences, THATCamp encourages participants to move about during sessions as they feel it appropriate. The schedule of Workshops that will be offered is still coming together. We will post it here when it is ready, which should be some time next week.

The general schedule framework is as follows: Saturday morning we will meet for coffee and a light breakfast at 8:30 AM and begin working through the schedule for the weekend. The first sessions will start at 9:30. We will break for lunch (provided) for an hour at 12:30 PM and end the final session period on Saturday at 4:300 PM. NOTE: There is a complimentary reception at the Hotel from 5:00 until 6:30, so please plan to join us for that. On Sunday we will kick it off again at 8:30 AM and wrap things up for the day at 12:00 PM, ending THATCamp Florida for 2014.

Welcome to the Fourth Annual THATCamp Florida website.  The History Department and the RICHES program at the University of Central Florida, in cooperation with the UCF Center for Research and Education in Arts, Technology + Entertainment (Create), and the Center for Humanities and Digital Research will be hosting a regional THATCamp on the weekend of February 15-16, 2014 in sunny Orlando.  The gathering will involve about 75 people drawn broadly from the Humanities and will include Professors, Librarians, Graduate Students and interested parties (writers, musicians, etc.) who are engaged in sorting through the many and varied ways that our broadly shared disciplines intersect with emerging technologies.  It is our hope that the two-day affair at Create will offer a stimulating and energizing atmosphere which will foster a fruitful exchange of ideas as well as collaborative work among attendees. If you are interested in attending this year’s THATCamp Florida you will need to register in advance. We also encourage you to begin thinking about what you would like to discuss at THATCamp and to submit a proposal for a session that is designed to address your interests/needs in the Digital Humanities, broadly defined. There is a length discussion of the proposal process on the page linked above.

We are excited to be hosting another great weekend of informal conversation and learning about the Digital Humanities and are looking forward to assembling a broad and diverse group of Campers from around the state.
