Description

JEEcamp is an opportunity for a range of people to get together to talk about how on earth journalists and publishers can make a living from journalism in the era of free information, what the challenges are, and what we've learned so far.

It is also an opportunity for people with different skills and experiences to network, share those experiences, and perhaps suggest partnerships or new projects.

The day will start with a keynote speech from Rick Waghorn of MyFootballWriter.com - but the rest of the day is up to you.

It is an unconference, which means no endless parade of speakers, and no predetermined agenda. It's a self-organising event, so you decide the agenda (via a wiki at http://jeecamp.pbwiki.com ), and the focus is on providing the space and time for those with valuable experience and ideas - attendees - to talk to peers.

Attendees might have launched their own journalism project - or worked on one within a mainstream organisation. Or they might just have lots of great ideas, or knowledge about the area.
