Yesterday I had an incredibly stimulating day at BarCamp Africa. There were just so many positive elements to this event I first need to create a list. (Each item below deserves its own post)
1) Effective use of social networking & web 2.0 tools before, during, after the event.2) Incredibly positive attitudes and smart, passionate people.
3) Panel discussions that were “intimate conversations” between 150 people.
4) Tagging your name tag; tagging Africa map before and after.
5) Strong engagement of attendees to really participate not just observe
6) Broad range of interesting break-out sessions
7) Energy radiated by the Google campus
8) One session I participated in that was absolutely beautiful in how it unfolded
9) Self learning about helping and collaborating
10) Feeling like a true global citizen, proud, changed
11) Inspiration for possible book/study and new collaboration session format
12) Incredibly practical innovations and inventions
13) ….. So much more. I’m still processing.
