The first conference in the March USA trip is going to be BarCamp Los Angeles. BarCamps are almsot the opposite of massive, hotel occupying, $1000 ticket conferences. It’s as simple as possible. A big empty space, enough sponosrs to get on board to cover costs and beer. There’s no program expect for a big white sheet of paper, and you sign up on the day to present on whatever you feel like - or talk about podcasting while recording a ‘live’ podcast from the podium (that’s Nicole and I’s plan!).
Kareem Mayan is one of the organisers of the Los Angeles BarCamp (LA’s first) so I caught up with during the half time of an Olympic Hockey game to find out more about Mayan, and how you go about organising and running an un-conference.
