The “un”conference phenomenon known as BarCamp is coming to TechValley (specifically, Schenectady) on Saturday, June 23. While it’s a tech conference, you don’t have to be a total geek to participate. But participate you must. It’s a self-organizing event where the presenters and the participants are one and the same. You can give a presentation on the topic of your choice, help out a friend doing the same, or volunteer your services in other ways. Check out the wiki and maybe I’ll see you there.

Hey Greg, I’m really excited for BarCamp, glad to see more people signing up (and presenting!). Can’t wait to hear your presentation on the lack of a “startup scene” (or the death of mainstream media – they both sound awesome).

Tech Valley is filled with engineers and computer scientists, but there hasn’t been a place or an event for them to gather. BarCamp is the event, and the Edison Exploratorium is the place. Thanks for spreading the word.
Chris/Craig: I’m with you on all counts. Thanks for getting this rolling. I’m 90% sure I can make it. Really will try my best. I know I’ll regret it if I can’t get there. Look forward to (hopefully) meeting y’all.
