Heard of BarCamp? Almost every one I’ve ever been to fits this description…

Btw: FOWA 2007 here in London was brilliant this year. Excellent conference and excellent networking event.

raphael, that’s the point about OFFF. To run away from corporate business. The very cool thing about OFFF is that inspires you to make new things, to think about how can you be innovative in what you do. If you put that in your business depends on you.

OFFF: always smart but very far from business
LIFT: nice size, lot of smart persons to talk about. Speakers are variable.
LEWEB3: good network but poor shared experience. Too much confidentiality.
