BarCamp Memphis

by Bob Hazlett on November 7, 2009

Saturday, Nov 14th marks BarCamp #2 for Memphis.  BarCamp Memphis is a small part of a larger network of user generated conferences or ‘unconferences.’ These events are open to everyone, participatory and ad-hoc. The content is determined and provided by the participants. Its pretty cool to see how it all shakes out.  barcamp_memphis

A lot of times, the BarCamp focuses on web applications, social media and related technologies. BarCamp Memphis has a list of topics ready for Saturday’s agenda.  Personally, I’m looking forward to Brian Cauble’s presentation on building an iPhone application, the Google Wave live demo and the cool stuff that BuckDaddy and Dave Delaney are going to serve up.  I’m also really excited to hear the panel conversation on community blogs that includes the fine folks at MemphisConnect, Nashvillest and Andre Natta of The Birmingham Terminal.

I’ll be tag teaming a presentation with Daniel Prichettt about setting up your own custom URL shortening service and helping out with some PowerPoint Karaoke during lunch.  I think you all will be in for a treat.

Get Your Tickets to Memphis Startup Weekend

by Bob Hazlett on May 17, 2009

Startup Weekend returns to Memphis May 29th – 31st.  In case you’re new to the scene, Startup Weekend is a community building event that brings together the best local developers, marketers, designers and enthusiasts to do what they do best – start projects and start companies.  Your brain synapses will literally be firing on all cylinders for 54 hours straight.

The weekend starts Friday at 6pm and wraps up the evening of Sunday, May 31st.  The founders have put together a Facebook group to bounce around initial ideas, but project votes won’t be made until Friday evening.  This year the plan is to have multiple projects simultaneously move forward at the same time.

To give you an idea of the type of projects that get launched in a weekend, take a look at San Francisco, Phoenix, New York and Lexington.

Startup Weekend is limited to the first 100 people that sign up, so be sure to grab a ticket now.  Help support and grow the entrepreneurial spirit of Memphis.
