h3. I love “Barcamps”:http://barcamp.org/.

The energy, the people, it’s all good.

* Imagine a conference about the Web–what’s current, and what’s coming in the future.
* Imagine over “500 people”:http://barcampmiami.eventbrite.com/ attending a conference, which is completely organized and run by volunteers.
* On a gorgeous day in Coconut Grove.

That was “Barcamp Miami”:http://barcampmiami.org/ 2009.

Wonderful event, people, topics and conversations. Oh, and the locations (Anohka restaurant and the “Mayfair hotel”:http://www.mayfairhotelandspa.com/) could not be better, (although I think the restaurant was a little overwhelmed by lunch orders).

Overall, an excellent job by all the organizers and presenters.

I’m excited about 2009, and hope to see some of the same people at “Refresh Miami”:http://refreshmiami.org/ meeting.
