Overview
VRM + CRM 2010 is a workshop for VRM and CRM developers and other professionals, where the process of building out common ground between the two can begin. It is hosted by ProjectVRM and the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, and will take place at Pound Hall in Harvard Law School on Thursday and Friday, 26 and 27 August. It's free of charge, and you can register here.
The common ground to be built out is the marketplace where real two-way relationships can take place, and economic value can be unlocked and grown with minimal friction. This marketplace is potentially enormous, but as yet it does not exist. It is the intention of ProjectVRM and many other interested parties that on 28 August this new marketplace will be born and start growing. (Background posts are here, here and here.)
The purpose of the workshop is to get this work started. Since this will be the first VRM+CRM event of any kind, the potential leverage of participating in this workshop is quite large.
Agenda
This is a workshop, rather than a conference. We will have speakers and panels, but only in the mornings, and mostly for the purpose of briefing participants and helping everybody get acquainted with each others' work — in particular what VRM developers have been up to over the past several years, how this matches up with where CRM (and social CRM) are going, and what's happening in some verticals (Real Estate, Health Care, Government, Telecom, etc.). The meat of the workshop over both days will be in the breakout sessions, where topics are chosen by the particpants in an unconference open space format. You can read more orabout open space here.
Doc Searls, who runs ProjectVRM at Harvard's Berkman Center, will lead the workshop. Kaliya Hamlin will guide the unconference/open space parts of the workshop. Kaliya is a veteran facilitator of open space workshops, and co-runs the series with Phil Windley (who will also be at VRM_CRM 2010). VRM has from the beginning had a second home at IIW workshop sessions, and much VRM development has either originated at IIWs or been moved forward at them (even ones that have not focused on identity). We expect the same kind of progress at this workshop as well
Notes for each breakout session will be at the VRM_CRM_2010_Sessions_Wiki, and at other wiki pages linked to from there.

Location and Getting there
Pound Hall is at 1557 Massachusetts Avenue ("Mass Ave") on the Harvard Campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Mass Ave runs up Harvard's west side from Harvard Square. Here is a map. It is a modern brick building diagonally northeast of Cambridge Common (a park) and just south of a new building still under construction.
Street parking is limited to only two hours, and is strictly enforced. Public parking tends to be expensive.
The best way to come is by subway. Pound Hall is a short walk up "Mass Ave" from the Harvard station on the MBTA Red Line.
If you are driving, we recommend parking at the Alewife station at the end of the Red Line (it's at the inbound end of Highway 2). The cost is $7 per day, trains run constantly, and the cost of a ride is $1.50. Harvard is 3 stops (only 8 minutes) from Alewife.
If you are flying in, there are many hotels close to the Red Line. The Harvard station is about 20 minutes from downtown Boston. From Logan Airport, you take the Silver Line to the South Street station, also on the Red Line. Take the inbound train toward Alewife. (It becomes outbound when you pass the Park Street station.) Again, it's $1.50, leaves frequently, and is nearly as fast as a taxi. If there's traffic, it's faster.
