We had such a great response to CaseCamp that we sold out in two days – obviously this cannot stand, so in a few hours we’re going to send out a mass email with the news that we’ve changed the venue to Carlu.

At Carlu we’ll be able to accommodate many more people. Also, stay tuned for three new presenter announcements and a raft of new sponsors too.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, especially Rita, Michelle, Sarah, Bonnie, Rachel, Arieh, Len, Iris, Janet and Shannon!

Congratulations to the Know Your Meme crew – Kenyatta, Ellie, Jamie and Andrew – for being named one of the Top 50 sites of 2009 in Time Magazine.  I’m really looking forward to seeing my favorite Internet Scientists present at CaseCamp.

From Jamie – ““Know Your Meme was selected as one of TIME Magazine’s 50 Best Websites of 2009! 50/50  We wrote our first scientismic episodes in Dec 2007 and launched the ‘Meme Database’ website in Dec 2008. It’s seen amazing growth — we’re now at more than 500 meme entries, 10k images, and will serve over 4.5 million pageviews this month!””

I’d like to take a moment to thank our list of sponsors, many of whom have just joined. Thank-you, CaseCamp would not be happening without your support.
