BarCampMelbourne is a technical unconference; encouraging people from all walks of life and technical disciplines to attend. The cost of registrations for the two day event is $50 – a portion of which will be refunded depending on sponsorship secured.
The year we’re also brainstorming topics of interest to gauge what people would like to hear about: http://barcampmelbourne2009.ideascale.com/

Donna Benjamin – from Creative Contingencies
Brianna Laugher – from WikiMedia Australia

Ben Balbo – from PHPMelbourne.org among others

BarCamp Sydney is on again and it’s been dubbed the Recession Edition. In keeping with the Recession theme of BarCamp there are a few changes. Like a new venue, at the Australian Technology Park (ATP) Innovations Centre.
Constantly looking for ideas, we open us discussion in The Think Tank room - a small room with no projector and no tech – just enough room for a small group of people discussing ideas. And what better ideas to discuss than ideas about the future.
More detailed information to come but check out the website and stay informed and block out Saturday June 27 for BarCamp Sydney and put your thinking hats on to present a ripper of a session.
Registrations for StixCamp are now open: <http://vic.au.stixcamp.org/register/>
“StixCamp” is a rural “BarCamp” unconference that will be held in Newstead, central Victoria on the 14th and 15th of March, 2009. At the moment rego is $50 but if sponsors get on board that will likely come down and you will be refunded the difference when you show up.
StixCamps are like BarCamps, only they’re held in the sticks, a bit like the first Australian BarCamp: BarCampMelbourne 2007.
What is a BarCamp?
Described as “an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees”, anyone is welcome to come along for free. Everyone is asked to participate by giving a presentation or leading a discussion, essentially forcing the sharing of ideas and knowledge.
Being held by LAMP (laboratory for advanced media production) – GAMEJAM08 is a chance to showoff your latest game/world ideas.
YOU MUST REGISTER TO ATTEND!

Company Overview: Social Media Club brings together journalists, publishers, communications professionals, artists, amateur media creators, citizen journalists, teachers, students, tool makers, and other interested collaboraters. Essentially the people who create and consume media who have an interest in seeing the ‘media industry’ evolve for everyone’s benefit. We are more than just USERS, we are the reason the tools exist – we are the people who communicate our thoughts and ideas near and far. Join us and let’s shape the future together!
Social Media. This is a global conversation amongst a diverse community of practitioners where the many different people who care about social media can come together to discover, connect, share, and learn.
The idea for Social Media Club originated in the Fall of 2005 with the Web 2point1 BrainJam. This led us to create the non-profit BrainJams organization to promote the idea of unconferences and ad-hoc collaboration to a broader audience of non-geeks. Over the course of the last year, BrainJams has brought us together with people from all over the world. As a result of thousands of conversations since, we realized that the passion we have for Social Media was the real purpose of what we were doing and have now launched this site to begin the conversation about the future of Social Media.
