Electromagnetic Field (also known as EMF, or EMF Camp) is a camping festival in the UK, held every two years, for hackers, geeks, engineers and scientists. It features talks and workshops covering a wide variety of topics.〔(EMF Camp talks )〕 EMF is a non-profit event run entirely by a team of volunteers.〔(About Electromagnetic Field )〕 Attendees of EMF receive an electronic conference badge, funded by sponsorship, which in 2014 included an LCD screen, Arduino-compatible microcontroller, and a radio transceiver. 〔(Announcing TiLDA MKe, the incredible EMF 2014 camp badge )〕 ==History== The first Electromagnetic Field event was held in 2012 at Pineham Park, near Milton Keynes, and completely sold out a 499-person capacity. Each tent at EMF 2012 was provided with power and the internet, via a 2.5 km direct microwave link to a data centre〔(BBC News: Geek camp comes to Milton Keynes )〕 which provided 370 Mbit/s〔(EMF Camp, the site and Networking )〕 to the campsite. Over 50 speakers gave talks, including Ben Goldacre. 〔(EMF 2012 Programme )〕 The event was held in 2014 at Hounslow Hall Estate, again near Milton Keynes. Over 1,200 tickets were sold. As with the 2012 event, internet was provided by a direct microwave link which provided 436Mbps.〔(EMF Camp, megabits to a farm )〕 The entire event had over 100 talks, workshops and events with a separate track for children. Notable speakers included Tom Watson MP and Simon Singh. 〔(EMF 2014 Programme )〕 In addition there were 45 'villages'〔(EMF wiki, Villages )〕 that ran their own workshops and events including silver smithing, wood turning and making stroopwafels. Electromagnetic Field 2016 is scheduled to be held on August 5th-7th, 2016 at Loseley Park, Guildford. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Electromagnetic Field (festival)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
