NewBCamp is a conference - or better yet, an 'unconference' - that brings people together to learn from each other about technology.

Be the first to hear the latest research on new media and communications, social media, ICT and mobile media from the Society's Fellows. Then, later that evening, join the Society for a gala dinner to honor the winners of the 2008 Excellence in New Communications Awards (http://sncr.org/awards). Each year SNCR presents these prestigious awards to honor corporations, governmental and nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, media outlets, and individuals who are innovating the use of social media, ICT, mobile media, online communities and virtual worlds and collaborative technologies in the areas of business, media, and professional communications, including advertising, marketing, public relations and corporate communications, as well as entertainment, education, politics, and social initiatives. In addition, the SNCR Fellows honor their choices for the SNCR Visionary of the Year, Innovator of the Year and Brand of the Year.
