Barcamp Seattle 2009

I’m looking forward to Barcamp Seattle 2009, which is just a few short weeks away.  My friends/fellow organizers have been hard at work organizing the event for you.  This year we’re trying to attract other groups outside the “tech bubble” to increase the variety of the sessions. We want everyone to participate as it makes things more interesting, we learn more,  and it expands our world in more unexpected directions through the people we’ll meet.

If you don’t know what Barcamp is, allow me to help. Think of the last conference you attended. Now imagine the list of speakers and schedule didn’t exist. Then add your name and a topic you think others might find interesting to the schedule. When the scheduled time comes, you give your presentation. Lastly imagine not paying a registration fee. Anybody that attends has the opportunity to present. That’s Barcamp!

Historically, Barcamp has been a very geeky event filled with Software Developers, Web Designers, and Mobile enthusiasts . But the beauty of Barcamp is that it can be anything you want it to be. In that spirit, I’d like to suggest some topics that I’d like to see at Barcamp Seattle 2009. If one of these interests you, take it and run with it.

• How To Be a Good Wingman
• Accessories for Men – How to Augment Your Personal Style
• Dressing Better : Improving the Nerd Wardrobe (provide theory and tips)
• Entrepreneurship: Starting a Services-based Business
• How to date a Model AKA Girl Baiting – A Nerd’s Guide to Getting the Girl
• Become Extroverted – How to Defy and Overcome Your Shyness

I’d like to hear what you’re interested in hearing about.  Write it in the comments below.
