BizCamp
Conor O'Neill has posted the learning from CorkCamp2 over on their blog - link here. In it he suggests there maybe interest in a Bizcamp.
My interpretation is a Camp which does not exclude technology sessions/streams but which is pitched more at business discussions and experience sharing. So it would appeal both to the early stage technology community which turn up to standard Camps but also to entrepreneurs and startups from other sectors.
Happy to work on it in KK/South East - welcome comments or feedback. Alternatively would also pitch in with a team taking it on elsewhere.

Just repeating my earlier thumbs up for the idea. Would love to attend a BizCamp as myself and Daragh Doyle have also been floating the idea of a SocialCamp which might make a interesting siter Camp so to speak. Of course I'd also try to rope in some Social Entrepreneurs I know for a talk at BizCamp.

I would love to be involved and get this off the ground.

Great idea. I'd love to help so if we can get a few more people we're off. I have a few sponsors in mind.

Fantastic idea Keith. I think there's a huge market for this as it really opensup the Barcamp unconference format to people who aren't technical.
I'm in to help get this organised and off the ground and I can certainly bring 3/4 pretty decent sponsors with me.
In South East or elsewhere I'm happy to go with whatever's decided
Email me anton@digitalmediaforum.net and lets kick off. :)

I think this is a great idea and it's something that I think would be of great use to people in the current climate. Lots of exposure to real stories with the chance to ask questions and not a day of being lectured at.
I'd be glad to help out. I've leached enough info from Podcamp, OpenCoffee, Barcamp etc that it's time I got involved.

Great idea Keith. This would present a great opportunity to open out the discussions to the wider business community. Don't start with the technologies but with how particular business objectives were met, using the technologies.
