http://barcamp.org/BarCampMumbai2

The idea of Barcamp is to turn the idea of a 'conference' on its head by removing all possible rules out of the way of a intense discussion. These are meeting places of people with great business ideas and ones with sound technical caliber where they ideate, discuss and brainstorm on all the topics of common interest ranging from wild-life photography and venture funding to blogging and Flex programming.

Due to their wide-spread appeal and quality of discussion, Barcamps are increasingly being seen as hubs of technical entrepreneurship all across the world. The team of Barcamp Mumbai 2 (BCM2) has experience of organizing second, third and fourth Barcamps of Bangalore (4th Barcamp - July 28-29, 2007 - the largest in the world with 600 participants!) and the first Barcamp of Mumbai (July 2006) and multiple Barcamps in Pune. SINE (Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) at IIT Bombay is the event partner. The event is being supported by E-Club, the entrepreneurship club at SJMSOM, IIT-B.

Bar Camp Mumbai 2 is fast becoming a rage across the ecosystem with leading corporate like SUN, DirectI and Nokia sponsoring the event. There is list of around 200 registered participants that includes ace investor Mahesh Murthy, who is talking about VC Funding at BCM2. It will also see presence of many start-ups and bloggers, who too have registered for the event.

Barcamps are free events - there is no entry / registration fee - and one can register by simply editing the event wiki. So all those interested to register, log onto the link: -
