The occasional light expression

Bangalore Barcamp is back. THe next one is slated for Mar 31/April 1 at the IIM Bangalore campus.

This Barcamp is around social technology - or as the website states “At this event, we intend to share stories of technology implementations that affected society around us, and social norms that affected the course of technology. At Barcamp Bangalore 3 we have stories of e-governance, electronic record keeping, and what it means for those without access; Indian copyright law and innovation in music; and celluloid, movies and the resultant shaping of society and culture. We’d love to hear more, perhaps on the application of technology to understand the human condition, or perhaps on the growing spread of personal communication technologies and the unexpected but undeniable shift in the landscape of mass media and governance…”

The Barcamp 3 theme reminds me of Doors 8 Delhi, which was a Doors of Perception conference on platforms and infrastructures for social innovation.

I will probably present this time on Innovation - Innovation as a fad, innovation as a buzzword, and what innovative thinking really means in an organizational context. I might also present a spin on the future of the technology User Experience field.
