All information on geekcon 2012 is available in the 2012 wiki

This year’s Geekcon will be held on the weekend of 6-8 of September at the Sdot Yam place. We’re expanding the number of participants up to 160 and adding a new hacking track (more on the track here > ) .  We’re aiming for bigger, more interesting projects this year, making this geekcon the greatest un/sub/uber/camp/gathering/conference in Israel

We are upping our game. New sponsors: Autodesk and General Motors Advance technology Center Israel. GM will bring some test vehicles to the event. If you wish to have a project which communicates with a car (CANBus), uses a high-res 3D scanner (velodine), a radar or vision – all of these will be available for you.

A few highlight:

SubDroid: An android based remotely operated underwater vehicle.
homemade tornado: Small scale tornado generator.
AI DJ: A system which replaces the DJ at big events.
Shouts Sink Ships! Using sound from a healthy speaker, boost movement and flip over a ship.
