NewsInnovation-Philly

What is it?

News Innovation Philadelphia is the national BarCamp, the last in a series of regional editions. Bar Camp News Innovation Philadelphia is an unconference designed at coming up with new ideas on how to reenergize and innovate the news industry.  

Whats a barcamp? Its a conference with no set schedule. The presentation schedule is blank and will be filled in by attendees throughout the day. Anyone can present, and everyone is expected to participate in some fashion. Don't come just expecting to fall asleep in the back row. 

Dont think this is a journalists-only event! Invite any friends from various industries who are concerned about the future of news. Even your friend that complains about the biased media. Especially that guy.

 

The Facts:

  • If you plan on coming please register.
  • The event is named "BarCamp NewsInnovation Philadelphia" I know it's long, but for continuity's sake please keep it that way.
  • Tag everything pertaining to this event (on twitter, while blogging, flickr, etc..) as #BCNIPhilly
  • Sign up for the Google Group if you want to particpate in the planning.
