SocialDevCamp East: Local BarCamp Event in Baltimore
I am excited about the local BarCamp event organized by David Troy of Twittervision and Ann Bernard, Keith Casey from WhyGoSolo. It looks like a fun event and a great "UnConference" for local entrepreneurs, social media enthusiasts and researchers to get together and talk about the future, innovation of Social Media and the Web.
It promises to be an event that would
bring together forward thinkers – developers, social media gurus, bizdev types – to discuss and Chart the Next Course.
The Agenda and signup details are available on the PBWiki site. Some of the proposed session topics (From the Wiki):
- Mobile Application Development with iPhone & Android
- What are the implications of Geo-based web applications?
- How will Agile Development practices affect ideation and funding processes?
- Platforms Present & Future
- What will matter on the web a year or two from now?
- Where will information aggregation take us?
- Social Media is here to stay – so where will it go next?
- How will Google keep affecting development, the web and our lives?
- What are the next things web users will want from the web?
- What will be the impact of future generations to the current web we know today?
- Social Media in the workplace vs. in life
- How the Web is being broken apart into pieces - Justin Thorp
Fantastic! Cant wait to be there!
There are also some sponsorship opportunities (starting @ $250) available for this event. Also please note that there is no cost for participants (which is great for grad students like me!). :-D
For more details please contact Dave Troy or come and chat with us on Facebook.
This sounds like a lot of fun and an opportunity to network with people in the greater Baltimore area who are interested in social computing technology and businesses. Unfortunately, I have to be away on the 10th. :-(
