The Digital Naturalism Conference is a self-funded, self-organized, site-specific gathering focused on exploring ways of interacting with the natural environment.  It has an “unconference” format where the daily activities are led by the participants.

Dinacon is a rolling event where people come and go to fit people's wildly varying schedules.

Dinacon is open to scientists, artists, technologists, designers, and anyone else interested in finding new ways of interacting with other living creatures.

Applications Open - November 20 - January 30

Dinacon has 3 simple rules. During your time with us you need to

This application is to learn about what you want to do with us! We will use this information to help plan a fun diverse conference. Keep your answers SHORT and DIRECT! In 5 sentences (max) describe in basic terms the project you will work on at the conference. Examples include writing an article, building a device, creating art project, documenting research, conducting a biological survey, or leading a performance. It can be big or small, but it needs to be something you can finish enough to document and get constructive feedback from others.

Unfortunately this year we could not make the registration free, but we have worked to keep the costs for participants extremely low! These costs are well below a typical academic conference, and even cheaper than just most hotel stays. The money from these mostly goes to covering our expenses, and any extra go towards helping out participants, and expanding the activities of the conference.
Required
Self: I understand that I will be solely responsible for everything keeping me happy and healthy including: my own safety, equipment, food, visas, permits (if collecting anything) and transport to this event. *
