barcamp-chatt-hyperlocal

Last Sat­ur­day approx­i­mately 75 technophiles descended on Chat­tanooga for the “uncon­fer­ence” con­fer­ence, Bar­Camp Chatt. We (Knoxify’s found­ing fathers, Bran­don Clarke and Casey Peters) had the oppor­tu­nity to sit on a hyper­local blog­ging panel with the fine folks from Nashvillest, Chat­tarati, and The Ter­mi­nal. We found out that Knoxville isn’t all that dif­fer­ent from its neigh­bor­ing cities.

Chiefly orga­nized by Daniel Ryan, the sched­ule for Bar­Camp Chatt included some 23 pre­sen­ta­tions on top­ics rang­ing from iPhone devel­op­ment to Social Media. Unfor­tu­nately, we couldn’t stay for the entire con­fer­ence but what lit­tle time we had we spent dis­cussing all things hyperlocal.

If you want to hear us blab about how awe­some Knox­ify is please give our panel dis­cus­sion a look and lis­ten below. We took away a lot of great insight that will likely show up on this site in the near future.

If another Bar­Camp pops up in or around your region, we would highly encour­age you to attend as learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties were seem­ingly endless.
