This time we've pre-booked a series of short talks about books and digital by speakers plucked from the sign-up list (and we don't mind saying we've got some of the best people in the business):

Hachette UK's Head of Digital George Walkley (@walkley) in conversation with James Bridle (@STML) talking about big digital publishers and small digital publishers

Robin Harvie (@RobinHarvie), Editorial Director at HarperCollins giving a talk especially for us called 'Who's the Daddy? Lessons for the leader of the digital revolution' which we can't tell you any more about but which is probably going to be playful and thought provoking.

Sophie Rochester (@SophieRochester) talking about her new site http://www.theliteraryplatform.com/ which gathers and showcases projects uniting literature and digital technology.

Chris Meade (@ifbook) from if:book/ifsoflo will be beaming in from Australia with a vodcast.

Alastair Horne (@pressfuturist) talks about 'The Lazarus Project' - Cambridge University Press's print on demand revival of the important, the weird and the wonderful.

Debbie Mynott visits from Birmingham's super new library with some 'Stories from the Web'.

Genevieve Clark (@readingagency) tells us about her recent look at links between gaming, reading for pleasure and adult literacy.

And a hot little tech project which is so new it may not even be ready to be discussed!

As EVER there will also be slots for YOU to start a discussion - either as two minute lightening talks or short workshops. Organise your thoughts now and sign up for these on the night. Your remit is as ever the crossover between books/arts and digital.

Don't forget to bring a laptop if you have one and some biscuits to help make friends. Free Word will provide the WIFI.

If you'd like a cup of tea first arrive at 5.30pm, we'll be starting at 6pm sharp with the first speaker. We'll be finished by 8.30pm.


If by chance you can't come could you let us know and we'll release your place to someone on the waiting list.

geekcamp is organised by Pete Law and The Reading Agency and in partnership with Free Word
