CashFlow BarCamp-Lebanon

How do you turn an excellent idea into a product that provides sustained growth for your venture? How to go from concept to content in creative work and monetize it? How to grow internally, organically? What are useful and effective targets and internal strategies for meaningful / organic internal venture development? What are the paths to customers, platform by platform, sector by sector? How can high impact (social) ventures generate revenue to grow increase impact? How can non-profit and for-profit ventures use these tools to fundraise directly from audiences, and engage people more effectively? 

Who should come?  Technology developers, entrepreneurs, students, artists, activists, bloggers, journalists, product and graphic designers, and anyone interested in these topics wanting to learn more, share knowledge, and meet interesting people.

WHAT is a BarCamp? 

An "open source conference", of sorts... we propose the theme, invite people, and then we collaboratively create the schedule that day.  What does that mean for you?  To make this work, we need people who want to lead discussions, and people who want to participate in discussions.
