Be2camp Brum 2010

The second Be2camp Brum (an 'unconference' about social media, digital tools and the built environment) was held at Birmingham Central Library Theatre, on 12 August 2010, with the usual (for us, anyway!) Eventbrite registration, Live UStream, CoverItLive, Twitterfall and other online components.

The speakers this year included people looking at the possibilities for the new Library of Birmingham building, discussing how digital tools might change the way we experience a 21st century library. Take a look at the introduction.

A lunch time start and late finish encouraged a more social affair in collaboration with a nearby pub (the Old Comtemtibles, Edmund Streeet) in the evening, also allowing people to join us later in the day after office hours.
