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
