\"BarCampBank<\/a>I’m excited to announce that on September 20, 2008<\/span> BarCampBank is coming to Vancouver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gene Blishen<\/a>, Tim McAlpine<\/a> and I are putting a stake in the ground, after talking about doing it for some time.<\/p>\n

Now, some of you may be asking, what the hell is a BarCampBank. From the main BarCampBank page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

What if we changed banking and finance?<\/span>
The aim of BarCampBank is to foster innovations and the creation of new business models in the world of banking and finance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first one in North America was in Seattle last July<\/a>, and it was a truly transformative experience. For me, the ideas, relationships and bonds formed in those two days are invaluable, and the memories of it are strong and very good.<\/p>\n

Lots of details to be worked out, like an exact location, but it will take place on September 20, 2008. The cost is always break-even (think $25 CAD), so its worth the travel expense for my East Coast readers.<\/p>\n

Go to the wiki page to add your name to the list<\/a>. It will not disappoint!<\/p>\n

PS: Thanks to Morriss Partee<\/a>, whom I credit for keeping BarCampBank alive and kicking in North America. Thanks Morriss, looking forward to seeing you here! Also, I believe it was his idea to create something with the acronym BCBBC<\/span>. Who couldn’t love that!<\/p>\n

NOTE: My original post accidentally said that this was on July 20th. It is, in fact on September 20th<\/span>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
