Barcamp Jonesboro 2010

Posted on 2010/07/21 by Brandon

I will be attending Barcamp Jonesboro 2010! I am very excited to participate in the many discussions about the web and social media.

What is Barcamp?

A BarCamp is an “unconference” – an open, participatory event where the attendees are the presenters. The first BarCamp was held in Palo Alto, Ca., in 2005. Since then more than 350 cities on six continents have hosted BarCamps. The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, open-source technologies, and open data formats; but the format has been adapted to serve a variety of other industries and issues, including public transit, health care, real estate and political organizing.

If you are in the Jonesboro Arkansas area get registered and I will see you there!
