What is InfoCampLaunched in 2010, InfoCamp has become a premier event within the information community. Held every year by the students at UC Berkeley, School of Information, it draws over 150 professionals and students from different disciplines and interests such as engineering, UX design and research, data science, product management, and tech policy, and challenges participants to re-imagine information technology and bring solutions to real-world problems. This year's 12th annual InfoCamp is themed around the ethical use of technology - Tech-Ethics. The event will feature an idea-thon, speaker series, and an unconference.
