Florida Creatives - Creating a Community of Innovation

I'm giving up control of Florida Creatives in Orlando. That's the short version of this announcement. If you have a short attention span, you've now skipped to the end and read the last page of the novel. I imagine this post will be a long one.

Location

Artists, trend-spotters, activists, geeks and performers from Orlando and all around the SouthEast will be flocking to Orlando for an annual event unlike any other in Central Florida. BarCamp is a conference with no keynote speaker, no pre-defined schedule and no admission fee. It sounds like a bunch of chaos, but in fact it's one of the most fun days you can participate in. It's very easy to be involved, speak your mind, meet likeminded folks, maybe get a job, or just hand out and listen to all the passionate conversations happening in and out of the rooms where sessions are held.

This ad-hoc day of sessions invites participants to control the programming by preparing a 20 minute talk on any creative topic and presenting it to other participants. A large board separated into time slots will be opened at 9AM. Those wishing to lead discussions should be present early to write the name of his or her session on the board first thing in the morning.

Or ask Nick about BarCamp:

There will be an hour break in the middle for lunch, which is being provided thanks to our generous sponsors.
