I am proud to say that I attended the very first REbarcamp, which was a real estate industry specific technology “unconference”. Basically, the idea behind barcamp is that the conferees get together and create an agenda and then host the sessions. It is an amazing peer-to-peer discussion.
Ken Cook, of Social Media Edge on BlogTalkRadio, had the vision to build a barcamp experience optimized for small business owners. Many small businesses have found that ‘New Media’ has presented a very cool opportunity to promote… without spending loads of money. In fact, many smaller businesses have found that they can not just compete, but defeat larger rivals by effectively leveraging ‘New Media’ like FaceBook, Twitter and YouTube.
Friday, September 17th, The first Small Biz BarCamp Atlanta will take flight. There are limited tickets available for only $10, and the event is being held at the Five Star World Conference Center – Towers at Wildwood in Marietta, near Windy Hill and Power’s Ferry. Follow the link for tickets…

I'd love to hear from you...
Sounds like a great opportunity. If it was around here I would certainly think about going.
Great switch on REBarcamp, to have one on small business technology. I love the concept!
Lane,
Sounds like it is a good concept. Tell us how it went and if you would recommend it. :)

As soon as we get it rescheduled, I will be updating...
