a gathering of local, creative tech brains for learning, sharing

and collaboration.BOOKCAMP BRISBANE

Bookcamp is a user-generated conference sponsored by

Penguin Australia and focussed on books and book-like

technologies. The purpose will be to consider the future of the

Book as an object and examine its ongoing role as a delivery

mechanism for stories, information and entertainment. Partici-

pants and self-selected guests will choose the agenda for the

day, forming breakup groups to discuss and potentially create

future book technologies.ETSY FAIRSaturday 23rd June, free though spaces are limited

Etsy is the global marketplace for all things handmade. There’s

a thriving ‘new craft’ scene around Queensland, all using Etsy

to buy and sell handmade and vintage items, art and supplies.

The Edge is hosting the first ever meeting for Etsy users in

QLD, a chance to meet other Etsy users, share experiences and

skills, buy and sell, and put faces to usernames. Neither village

fair nor Indro, the first Etsy Fair is your chance to show your

wares, buy someone else’s or just talk to other users.
