BarCamp is coming to Nashville August, 18.
“BarCamp will create the greatest digital festival in the history of Nashville. Bringing together entrepreneurs, technology visionaries, digital creators, music revolutionaries and marketing gurus under one roof for twelve hours of education, innovation and recreation. BarCamp Nashville is a ‘future’ festival. Expect a mashup of unexpected presentations with a great lineup of internationally recognized keynote speakers and live music” - Source: BarCampNashville.com
What does all that mean?
Frankly I do not know, but I am oddly intrigued. I feel like I need to be there, although I am still not sure exactly what it is. And I WILL be there.
The few things I do know about the BarCamp conference, er … event, make me think it’s a step in the right direction. I know BarCamp will be a Nashville gathering of Techs, Geeks, Developers, Designers, and Digital Marketers. I am sure I fit in at least one of those categories.
Since the BarCamp Nashville event is an un-conference, it’s hard to say what my role will be. Whether I am a presenter or just a silent participate, it should be interesting either way.

Thanks for writing about BarCamp Nashville John. We’re thrilled to have you on the BarCamp Nashville Crew.
Our barcamp will be similar to other large barcamps (like Austin for example: http://tinyurl.com/2nqr6m). We’ll have 4 or 5 pre-scheduled keynote speakers covering the areas you mentioned. Aside from those time slots, every other slot will be open to anyone who wishes to speak, this includes you.
I’ll be posting more about the schedule on http://www.barcampnashville.com/blog very soon.
August 18th is coming quickly.
Cheers,
Dave
