I've never been to a BarCamp but I would love to come and I could possibly get a great venue for it (aka the museum where I work).

For example, BarCamp GR had a presentation on lessons learned from farming. The presenter followed traditional writing/storytelling practices, and the end point was that tech presentations could use a heavy dose of storytelling to better communicate/connect with audiences. OK, that probably sounds a bit odd and the retelling doesn't do it justice, but it was one of the best presentations I've ever seen. I think the more you can include people from diverse backgrounds, the better the presentations/topics will be.

Good luck and feel free to contact us with any BarCamp-related questions. I'd love to attend a BarCamp on the east side of the state. Sweet!
