Barcampbank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BarCampBank is an ongoing series of unconferences about innovation in the financial world. This subset of the software-oriented BarCamp grew out of BarCampParis4, on September 16, 2006 in Paris at Mandriva. The first BarCampBank in North America was held at the office of Evri.com in Seattle in July 2007 and was spearheaded by Jesse Robbins at the request of Frederic Baud, who was instrumental in the creation of the first BarCampBank in Paris.^[1]

The second BarCampBank held in the U.S. was BarCampBankSF on March 29, 2008^[2] in Berkeley, CA at UC Berkeley's Soda Hall, followed on subsequent weekends by BarCampBank NewEngland at America's Credit Union Museum in Manchester, NH, and BarCampMoney NYC in Manhattan.
