Subject: [backstage] BarCampBankLondon 3
And the 2nd one
Some of you might be interested in BarCampBankLondon3 taking
place at PayPal's Richmond office on January 30th.
The aim of BarCampBank is to foster innovation and the creation
of new business models in the world of finance. BarCampBankLondon has been
attended by many (prob. most) of London's financial startups. It is organised
by Dave Birch of Consult Hyperion. (They're currently working on the new TfL
payment systems.) At a BarCamp, you just turn up, suggest or pick sessions
that interest you, and get started. Everyone should aim bring a technology,
some know-how or just an opinion to share. It's an informal conference - there
are no sales pitches. (Well, other than PayPal, but it's their office!)
Previous topics have included:
* Writing a free portfolio risk management system
* Causes of and grass roots solutions to the credit crunch
* Development of p2p lending and microfinance
* Credit Clearing, and the use of a Value Standard
* Mobile & Biometric Payments
