Pop!Tech 2007在10月18日正式开始。这次年会讨论的主题是,The Human Impact–人类的影响。

Pop!Tech 2007 will explore some of the many ways human beings impact – and are impacted by – the world and each other.

人类与其周围的世界有种种相互影响,Pop!Tech 2007会议将会去探讨这其中的某些影响。

Pop!Tech是个很开放的会议,它有一个公开的电邮地址[email protected]让网上观众直接向讲演人提问题。结合网上视频直播,网上用户就可以远程参与Pop!Tech的年会了。
