What’s a NewBCamp?
NewBCamp 2008 is on Saturday, February 23, 2008 from 9am to 4pm in Providence, RI, at Xavier Building on the Johnson & Wales campus, and it is an activity of the SofT ICE (School of Technology Industry Career Explorers) club of JWU. NewBCamp is a BarCamp-like unconference where the participants are invited to give presentations and register beforehand for topics. I am refraining from limiting the topics as much as possible, but what I am hoping for will be a series of tracks. These tracks will be subjects that most presentations will involve, such as Web 2.0, so that participants who come can get a ‘starter kit’ experience that will allow them to give them what they need to continue on their own. I am planning for 200 people. My target audience is JWU students and the public, and specifically people new to technology who do not “speak geek” and want to know how to take advantage of emerging new media and web tools (hence “newbie” in NewBCamp).
