MobiCamp is like BarCamp or FooCamp or CaseCamp, but then for the mobile industry and people who’re interested in mobile solutions. MobiCamp is a no-holds-barred school of mobile thought—and one you can’t buy your way into. Intelligent, forward thinking is your only currency. That said, and in the interest of fairness, there are 3 simple Rules of MobiCamp you need to follow:
- You are not speaking at an official CTIA event.
- Your presentation is eloquent and relevant to the future of mobile. It focuses on new ideas. It outlines solutions, even if it’s inspired by problems.
- You speak for no more than 10 minutes, and are prepared to answer up to 5 minutes of impromptu questions.
Leave behind the approved corporate messages. MobiCamp is where you’ll hear things that need to be said from voices that need to be heard. It’s where you’ll be enlightened by new ideas and inspired by creative thinkers. It’s the stuff we need, but these days so rarely find, at our industry gatherings.
Rather than be subjected to the same old PowerPoint presentations with tired stats and uninteresting samples of “mobile snacks,” come share your stories and your vision with others who will help you shape the future of mobile.
MobiCamp is a community-generated mashup. If you’ve got something to contribute, you can decide how it fits into the agenda. MobiCamp’s US thing is on Sept. 11th 2006 from 7PM to 10PM, 111 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California. And hopefully it’ll find its path to Europe as well.
(Can we integrate it in ‘our’ next BarCamp, Peter?)
