SoOnCon 2011, October 1st, 10am to 7pm at TIFF Bell Lightbox Toronto
This Year's Host: Site 3 coLaboratory, Toronto!
Friday night kicks off with a reception at Site 3, where we show off the sorts of projects you can show at a private space, hint, fire. Saturday is an all-day event at TIFF Bell Lightbox in downtown Toronto, where we will be running two tracks, one for talks, one in our working space for show and tell. After the close of talks, we invite you to wander the city to see some of the excitement of Nuit Blanche. Big events we think are cool include:
- The Heart Machine at Bay and Dundas
- Seth Hardy's Shannon's Fireflies project in the Trinity Church labyrinth, right by the Eaton Centre
- The Chiptunes Orchestra at Bell Lightbox.
So come for the conference and stay up all night!
The Friday night festivities begin with a catered reception for registered participants and a cash bar. Registered Participants are free to bring a guest for an additional $10 at the door. Saturday is an all-day event with a keynote speaker, talks, demonstrations, workshops, and projects! After the full day on Saturday, you're invited to Nuit Blanche to see what Toronto art has to offer.
