One month from now, you could be arriving at home after an awesome weekend at the FreeCulture.org national conference! The event will take place at Swarthmore College, 20 minutes outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 21-23, with check-in beginning on Friday at 4pm and all events ending on Sunday at 3pm. Since on April 23rd FreeCulture.org will be two years old, we thought this would be an appropriate way to celebrate :-) Register for it now!

The schedule is not finalized, but here are some of the speakers and workshop leaders we have confirmed:

• Peter Decherney, a U Penn professor who is writing a book on copyright
• Nelson Pavlosky, co-founder of FreeCulture.org (duh)
• Prometheus Radio, leading a low-power FM workshop
• Holmes Wilson of Downhill Battle, leading a workshop on “Free culture campus strategy”, and…
• Lawrence Lessig!

Friday evening will be presentations, Saturday will be workshops and participatory activities, Sunday will be planning for the future of FreeCulture.org.

Also, Saturday night we will have an awesome Pirate Party, where everyone will wear pirate garb and we will play plunderphonics and project re-mixed pirate videos as we dance the night away on our pirate ship!

If you do not come you will be missing out. Way out. Register!
