Barcamp Nashville is coming up on October 15th, and there is a full Blog Tour in progress.

Steve Grossman just shared his post in the tour at Speakers, Listeners and Connectors.

BarCamp is an international network of events (called an “UNconference”) held in local areas around the world. Chances are there’s a BarCamp near you, and if there’s not… you could host one!

BarCamp Nashville will be held at Cadillac Ranch in Downtown Nashville. It’s a bar, so the atmosphere is fun & casual, and so is the event. BarCamp events are a great way to meet local bloggers, techs & online business owners. It’s a good place to make connections, learn from each other, and even make friends…

You can follow the tweet stream for BarCamp Nashville using the hashtag #BCN11. Or you can Google “barcamp location” such as “barcamp boston” to find a BarCamp near you.

Why Attend BarCamp?

It’s a great reason to get out of the home office and mingle with like-minded people in your local area. You might be surprised just how many bloggers, podcasters and marketers live near you! I know I was. It turns out we have a *huge* tech community in Middle TN.

Plus, you might just learn something.

The sessions are casual, but they’re given by real people in your area – not professional speakers. So you’ll get real people sharing real examples of method & strategies they’re using.

I’m not going to make it to BarCamp Nashville this year myself, as I have plans to visit my son. We’re celebrating his 20th birthday that week. I did go last year however, and look forward to attending again next year…

The next post in the BCN11 Blog Tour will be by Joey Strawn at www.JoeyStrawn.com Keep an eye out for it!

Best,
