The idea of Barcamp is to turn
the idea of a 'conference' on its head by removing all possible rules out of the
way of a intense discussion. These are meeting places of people with great
business ideas and ones with sound technical caliber where they ideate, discuss
and brainstorm on all the topics of common interest ranging from wild-life
photography and venture funding to blogging and Flex programming.
Due to their wide-spread appeal
and quality of discussion, Barcamps are increasingly being seen as hubs of
technical entrepreneurship all across the world. The team of Barcamp Mumbai 2
(BCM2) has experience of organizing second, third and fourth Barcamps of
Bangalore (4th Barcamp - July 28-29, 2007 - the largest in the world with 600
participants!) and the first Barcamp of Mumbai (July 2006) and multiple Barcamps
in Pune. SINE (Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) at IIT Bombay
is the event partner. The event is being supported by E-Club, the
entrepreneurship club at SJMSOM, IIT-B.
Bar Camp Mumbai 2 is fast
becoming a rage across the ecosystem with leading corporate like SUN,
DirectI and Nokia sponsoring the event. There is list of around 200
registered participants that includes ace investor Mahesh Murthy, who is
talking about VC Funding at BCM2. It will also see presence of many start-ups
and bloggers, who too have registered for the event.
