Bizcamp is an unconference that is organized by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, that is based on the idea of Barcamp.
Barcamp was started in the US a couple of years ago to bring like-minded people together to network, exchange ideas, experience and knowledge.
It is called an unconference because there is minimal organisation beforehand and the day itself is completely free for all participants. In exchange, participants help to organise, present, take pictures, clean up afterwards, etc.Minimum input, maximum output so to speak.
About 100 people attended the first edition which took place at The Hub in Brussels on October 24, 2009. Topics that were discussed included:
- Financing your business
- Dealing with taxes and subsidies
- Things that went wrong and what we learned from them
- Tools that help us do business better
- Building and managing teams / hiring people
- Doing business abroad
- Managing work/life balance
- Sales and marketing techniques
- Starting your business
and lots more!
