About WiCamp

WiCamp is an un-conference where practitioners and enthusiasts meet and share their perspectives on the subject of Innovation and Creativity. The participants (aka Campers) as well the speakers are self nominated through this wiki. Though the theme is around Innovation Practices, there's isn't any set agenda.

And what's more..there is no registration fees! It's free and open to all, provided they have a genuine interest in listening to the speakers' innovative ideas and interacting with them.

 

Who are the campers

Campers at the WiCamp are typically:

• Professionals
• Entrepreneurs (Start-ups)
• Venture Capitalists/ Angel Investors
• Researchers
• Faculty 
• Students
• Govt. Employees
• House makers
• Politicians

... almost anybody who has a genuine interest in the field of Innovation and Creativity.

 

It is encouraged that all those who have innovative ideas which they would like to showcase on such an excellent platform to register as a speaker too.

It is not necessary that people who have made it Big can only speak at such 'un-conferences', rather people who think BIG in a fresh innovative way, are the perspective speakers.

That's what makes WiCamp special.

 

We present a free platform to present your ideas in front of professionals and leaders from varying fields and an extremely enthusiastic audience.

 

So...to all those hesitant about becoming a speaker...

 

"Shed off your shyness and scruples!

Dazzle the audience with your innovative ideas!

Make them believe what you believe!

Erase their doubts and scruples!

Prove that Your Idea will Definitely Make it Big!"

What are the takeaways

Of the several things that one tends to gain from, the salient takeaways include:

• Learning from the frontiers of innovation 'As Practiced'
• A platform to share your experiments on innovation and garner ideas and critique
• Socializing with like minded people
• A chance for students and professionals to interact face-to-face and build a strong link between them for the exchange of ideas and views, filling up the gap between the two groups.
