ConFusion runs from Friday January 21st to Sunday, January 23rd at the Detroit Marriott in Troy, 200 W. Big Beaver Rd.
The Panel will be held Sunday, January 23 @ 12pm in Salon E.
The panel is called “The Age of the Hacker: A Primer to Hackerspaces and DIY Culture.”
Excerpt from Program Book: “Hackers (not computer thieves, but rather the imaginative practitioners of the do-it-yourself mentality) are on the rise. The Internet has made all manner of technology more accessible and cost-effective to the ordinary hobbyist, providing everything from free project diagrams to cheap pneumatic valves. As a direct result, more people are exploring the world of at-home machining, crafting, and electronics-for-fun, profit, and home repair. Most of all they are getting out of their garages and into communities called hackerspaces, where they work, share, and learn together. Join a few members from i3Detroit as they explain the hackerspace phenomenon, demonstrate a few projects, and show you that we truly live in the Age of the Hacker.”
Panelists include: Nick Britsky, Ted Hansen, Brad McMahon, and Ross Smith.

Okay, but what the heck is a ConFusion?
I've been through the program and it seems sci-fi-oriented but it's way weirder than that.
