Every October, at Pop!Tech, we assemble some great contemporary thinkers, writers, pioneers, academics, scientists, and business leaders to discuss, debate, engage and exhilarate. It's a vibrant, participatory scene and attendees are left invigorated. It gets heated, it gets provocative and it inspires. Interested? If so, be one of 500 to join us for a fall weekend, in Camden, on the coast of Maine.
