BarCampBlock turned out to be a great experience, celebrating BarCamp’s third anniversary. Over 600 people participated over the weekend to present or discuss a wide variety of mostly tech-related topics:
As Emily Chang points out, BarCamps play an important role in local tech communities:
“Who should be there? Anyone working on a new startup that wants to get some great feedback. Anyone looking for talent. Anyone talented looking for work. Anyone looking to invest in brilliant new ideas. Anyone looking to find partners for their brilliant new ideas. Anyone who wants to practice a presentation s/he is working on. Anyone who has a passion for blogging, wikis, design, coding and the web in general. Everyone is welcome. Everyone is encouraged to present. It’s totally free and an excellent source of what is hot, new and upcoming.”
We look forward to future BarCamps in Miami and in Florida. There’s BarCampOrlando in late September and DemoCampMiami in October, at the University of Miami.
This is AWESOME Alex! Can you embed it in the wiki?
