Pixelated Conference Series - BarCamps
6 comments so far Free RSS Subscription Free Email SubscriptionPixe…what??? You may be asking. This is part of a project started by Mithc Joel called Pixelated Conference Series, based on an idea by Future Now. Chris Brogan also supported it and now it’s my turn.
The project: A one day full online conference with videos from top speakers about a theme, namely BarCamps in my take. As my topic is user generated conferences, what more than users themselves talking about *camps?
Let’s see:
- What is a BarCamp? A great video by BarCampOrlando explaining it.
- Who started all of this? A few know that Harrison Owen started the unconference model, calling it Open Space Technology. We interviewed him on this blog, but here’s a nice video
- There are obviously rules and Luke explain us how to make the most of the experience

- BarCamps have also a community mission, Social Innovation Camp 2008 or ecoCampLondon a BarCamp about the environment and sustainability
- Orlando guys made a great commercial as well
