Let's get going
In the spirit of BarCampBankSeattle, let's hold a BarCampBank in New England. We're holding the event at America's Credit Union Museum, which is on the site of the first CU founded in the United States. Let's discuss the current revolution in personal finance where the credit union revolution in personal finance began 99 years ago.
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering (or un-conference) born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. Attendance will be free or a nominal charge, but all are expected to participate and/or present. You can participate by giving a presentation, demo, or joining into another cooperative event, being on a panel/roundtable, or in other ways helping out on event day.
