Great topics to talk about:
A creative or innovative project
An innovative technology, technique, product or service that you provide or know about
An interest or group you belong to
A solution to a problem
An extraordinary event or experience you have had
A resource
The possibilities are endless!
Things to consider when proposing a presentation:
- What do you hope people will get out of hearing your presentation?
- The BeCreative BarCamp is not a place to simply promote your project, business or service. It’s a place to educate and connect people to new ideas. Please keep that in mind when preparing your proposal.
- Berkshire Creative is focused on economic development. Does your presentation provide people with new information that will help create jobs, develop new business or contacts, teach them new skills, foster collaboration, or connect them to new resources?
- If you have presented at a previous BarCamp, please consider NOT re-presenting the same material. If you have a topic that is substantially different and meets the above criteria, we invite you to submit your proposal.
