live events 2.0

05/30/2008 06:18:59 AM
With people spending more time behind screens the urge to get out from behind the computer, mingle with others, network and learn is greater than ever.

It's surprising how live events are becoming more intriguing than ever before.

Organizers are playing with the concepts and bringing unique experiences to lucky attendees.

The important thing here is that these events are very different. They are eclectic, entertaining, sometimes shorter than their conventional cousins and way more interactive.

Here are some that Influx likes:

Dorkbot- Science and technology evenings happening all over the world

Pecha Kucha- Design focused- 20 images only- 20 seconds each

Bar Camps- Originally developers weekends where stuff got made, now all kinds of people are running them

Interesting Amsterdam- Russell Davies and his wonderful circus
