The workshop took place at U. California San Diego in Atkinson Hall, home of Calit2, a preeminent research center for future computing and telecommunication, where the Software Studies Initiative @ UCSD is located and currently collaborating with researchers on several exciting projects. The workshop was also been timed to precede (and coordinate with) the the HASTAC II conference which began in nearby UC Irvine on the evening of Thursday May 22, 2008.

Wedesday afternoon sessions featured a public Pecha Kucha session during which participants each performed a 7-minute speed-presentation on some area of work related to software studies. Thursday sessions involved strategic discussion on field formation issues and future collaborations. The SoftWhere'08 workshop was sponsored by Calit2, CRCA, HASTAC, UCDARNet, and the UCSD Visual Arts Department.
