As a grand finale for The AltMedia Experience week, there will be a day-long Barcamp gathering on Saturday, July 30, focusing on “Envisioning and Building the New Media Experience”, with topics around new media innovation, trends, tech developments globally and in the MENA region, challenges to media innovation in Lebanon (and the region), competitiveness, and more. As a community-based and crowd-sourced event, it is really about whatever you (the new media / media innovation community in Lebanon) want to talk about!
For those who don’t know about “Barcamps“, they are basically an “open source” style of conference, or unconference. All organizing is done on an open wiki, and participants can suggest session ideas for the event. On the actual day of the event, the schedule starts empty, listing the rooms and time-slots available, and the first activity with all participants is to collaboratively create the schedule for the day.
More info about the AltMediaCamp is up, details still in formation, and we (including us, at AltCity, and the whole community) will be making changes and additions there.
We are actively looking for co-organizers and sponsors. Want to join us? Have suggestions? Please let us know! < altmedia [at] altcity [dot] me >
