Tom Purves – Product Management, Fintech & AI

There’s a BarCamp for banking coming in February. Can you imagine? It’s in Paris on February 3rd so myself (and a others?) will be taking part on the way to Lift07 the next week in Geneva.

Agenda:

If you are an innovator, a disruptor or a professional of the banking and finance industry, if you are excited by or just curious about all the innovations that the new technologies could bring to the banking and finance world, if you want to present a project, confront your ideas or just echo lively debates with your own experience, then you should definitely consider joining us on this first full-blown edition of the BarCampBank.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to practice my french…

TorCamp is experimenting collectively with new channels of real-time (chat) collaboration while simultaneously trying to conduct business and plan future events and advocacy with city politics etc.

Here I am in 3 skype conversations, 2 gtalk, a few msn, gmail and a campfire conversation with about 40 people.

The exact same 40 people mind you.

So far this experiment is somewhere between a brilliant insight into the new collaboration — or a complete disaster. staying tuned.

My business parter partner and all-around multi-talented guy, Jevon MacDonald has written a great and expansive report on the state of 2.0 in the Enterprise, including case studies and how you can start 2.0’ing the hell out of your organization today. It’s a great read, flip over to Jevon’s Blog (socialwrite.com) to download a copy of the pdf and let us know your feedback. This report is released under creative commons license.
