Gnomedex
'''Gnomedex''' is an annual technical conference, coordinated by [[Lockergnome]] founder [[Chris Pirillo]], that began in late 2001, and has so far been held five times. It is not affiliated with the [[desktop environment]] [[GNOME]]. The conference is typically held over the summer on a weekend, and focuses on leading-edge social and technical trends, most recently including [[RSS (file format)|RSS]] aggregation and [[podcasting]].

It has been traditionally held in the quiet town of [[Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines]], [[Iowa]], Pirillo's home town, but due to its size, moved to [[Lake Tahoe]] in 2004 and then [[Seattle]] in 2005, where Pirillo now makes his home.

Topics are vast, but activities are usually centered on a theme: at 2004's Gnomedex 4.0, the theme was "Taking the 'con' out of Convention", while Gnomedex 5.0's taglines in June 2005 included "The Technology People Aggregator" and "Grassroots of RSS, Blogging, Podcasting, BitTorrent, Media!" A bit odd, the mixture makes up an unusual conference experience.
