David Crow on Starting a DemoCamp in Your Town

David Crow (sort of pictured to the left — that’s actually a figurine of Fred Sanford from Sanford and Son) has written a blog entry on starting a DemoCamp in your town.

Remember, the DemoCamp concept needn’t be limited to the topic of technology — if a topic can be covered in a “show and tell” format, it can be DemoCamped. Consider Eli Singer’s creation, CaseCamp, in which the DemoCamp concept is applied to marketing cases. Robert Ouelette, architect and all-round creative guy, mentioned to me that he’d like to apply the DemoCamp concept to design (probably architectural, but likely for graphic and urban design as well) and start DesignCamp.

The DemoCamp concept can be applied to just about anything — the trick is to have people who love “show and tell!”

  • You know what would be a cool BarCamp style event. ContractorCamp - where people can discuss the benefits and realities of self employment. Being a dedicated company man I would not have a lot to contribute but I think it is a neat idea. Plus Freshbooks would have to sponser it wouldn't they ;-)

  • It's just proof that this stuff is not rocket science or brain surgery, you just need to do it. Do it because it's interesting. Do it because you're passionate about. Do it to find others doing something similar. But like all that good Nike branding says, "Just do it!" It's about you. This is the time of user-generated content. Unconferences. Micromedia. Blogs. YouTube. MAKE magazine. The Fringe Festival.
