Influences of boco

A ton goes into a conference.  boco is an expression of what I think that works in the conference space.  With lessons learned taken from SXSW, Gnomedex, Twiistup, FooCamp and the BarCamp movement.

Some of the core principals we are using to guide our first boco:

  1. Accessibility- Low ticket price.  $99 for a day conference including dinner and a concert (many, actually) is pretty dang good.
  2. Ground Up- All the speakers are on the ground action oriented people.  They are the ones causing the change in their organizations.  No keynotes, we have allnotes.  You should be able to learn and take away something from every speaker.
  3. Participation- We are keeping it to a 175 person venue.  All the speakers are hosting break out sessions after their talk.  We love the model of barcamp, and have built in room for everyone to teach and share.
  4. Unique Fun- From cooking demos to logo makeovers, we are planning a unique experience for everyone.

Stay tuned to the blog to see how this progresses!
