BathCamp is now just over two months away (registrations are open). If you can’t wait that long though, you may be interested in other BarCamps coming up over the summer, which range in topic and in location. Attending other BarCamps is a great way to get a feel for the format, and to give you some ideas for things you might like to talk about at BathCamp.

Barcamp Bank

On Saturday 5th July there’s a BarCampBank in London, focusing on innovation in the financial services sector. Good to see that the format has no bounds! (I love the piggy bank in the logo too.)

On Saturday 1st August it’s BarCamp2, the BarCamp in Cambridge. It’s hosted at the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus and the topic is the ‘interface between science and technology’ – should be interesting that.

On Saturday 6th September (a week before BathCamp), it’s the 3rd annual BarCamp Brighton, which is returning to the University of Sussex. Also on this date is PhotoCampLeeds, the UK’s ‘first photographic-focussed BarCamp’ – perfect for Flickr lovers.

Plus of course there are BarCamps around the world, if you can afford the flights (and the environmental guilt). See BarCamp.org for the full list.
