SocialDevCamp East is the Unconference for Thought Leaders of the Future Social Web

Where is the social web going? It’s going mobile, to geocentric services, and to open platforms. Join a community of like minded developers, social media gurus and thought leaders for an unconference to discuss the future of the social web.

We’re looking for thought leaders from DC to Boston to meet, forge relationships, and envision the future.

I am really looking forward to this one.  If you head over to the wiki page for the event, folks are dadding some really great topics for discussion sessions:

• Google App Engine: Implications and First Impressions
• State of the Rails: A Look at the present and Future of Rails
• Mobile Application Development with iPhone & Android
• What are the implications of Geo-based web applications?
• How will Agile Development practices affect ideation and funding processes?
• Platforms Present & Future: Facebook, OpenSocial, LinkedIn, Friendster, etc.
• What will matter on the web a year or two from now?
• Where will information aggregation take us?
• Social Media is here to stay – so where will it go next?
• How will Google keep affecting development, the web and our lives?
• What are the next things web users will want from the web?
• What will be the impact of future generations to the current web we know today?
• Social Media in the workplace vs. in life

I am really looking forward to seeing many of you there.
