6:00pm - 9:30pm: Common Ground Courtyard
*Barcamp Miami*
Think BarCamp is a meeting among geeks? Think again!
BarCamp is your opportunity to present your company, your startup or
your idea of the next big thing. Everyone is welcome to present and all
presentations are scheduled upon arrival.
The first BarCamp "unconference" was organized in California in August
2005.Since then, BarCamps have been held across the globe, culminating
last year in the first anniversary Barcamp Earth, held the same day in
multiple locations worldwide. Barcamp is a great place to meet people
and learn about your online community in your home town.
This year, South Florida will finally get its first BarCamp Miami on
February 21st, 2007
"BarCamp Miami was designed for people in South Florida to share and
learn in an open environment." - Kim Grinfeder, Professor, University of
Miami
BarCamp Miami is an intense event with discussions, demos and
interaction from an ad hoc gathering of entrepreneurs, technology
developers, journalists, bloggers, designers, web enthusiasts, students
and anyone else who's interested in learning about new projects
underway. It's a way to "get everyone together and see what happens".
Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the schedule wall.
"You don?t have to present anything but I do encourage people to just
come and listen and share ideas." - Alex de Carvalho, Community Guy,
