As an international centre of high technology research, development and manufacturing, Silicon Valley is an ideal location for SPT/99. The conference theme, Technological Spaces, is meant to encourage both traditional and innovative investigations of the intersection of technology and space or place, variously conceived, including: high-tech regions (like Silicon Valley); the world wide web as social/cyber space; scientific laboratories as technological workplaces; agricultural technics; identity (gender, culture, etc.) and situated technologies; spatial metaphors in computing, etc. The Society for Philosophy and Geography has been invited to join the conference. Special outreach is also being made to other science and technology studies organizations as well as potential colleagues in the Pacific Rim.
The city of San Jose, California's oldest and now third largest city (after Los Angeles and San Diego) is the physical and civic centre of Silicon Valley. San Jose's newly-renovated and rapidly-developing city centre has many cultural and recreational locations, numerous restaurants, cafes, clubs and bars, The Museum of Technology and Innovation, the headquarters of some major high-tech companies, and San Jose State University -- all within walking distance. The cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley, the Pacific coast, Monterey Bay, wineries and dozens of high-tech firms are within an hour's drive.
San Jose State University, founded in 1857, is the oldest institution of public higher education in California, and will be the primary conference site.
