Calgary Blogger Dinner Thursday March 15th
Posted by austin under Canada Tech Scene, Community
It’s short notice, but I’m in Calgary doing some business and visiting family until Friday and was speaking with 
some local friends & bloggers who expressed some interest in organizing a blogger dinner.
Shel Israel (co-author of Naked Conversations) was talking to me on Monday about how he and co-author Robert Scoble have met bloggers around the world through these dinners.
I’ve attended these blogger dinners in Montreal and Toronto and they have been helpful in creating some sense of local tech community.
Some Calgary people have been asking me questions about the Barcamp movement and getting a regular one going in Calgary and this might be a good topic of conversation.
If you are interested in these topics, and want to come out for a meetup let me know.
Patrick Lor and Kempton Lam have both said they are interested. Kempton has a post up about the idea as well.
We are thinking about somewhere around Chinook mall near 7pm or 8pm Thursday evening. If you are interested contact Kempton or leave a comment here. We’ll announce the final details soon.

December 18th, 2007 at 9:48 am[...] Now, the idea of launching a BarCamp in Calgary was originated nine months earlier in March 2007. My then new friend Austin Hill came to visit Calgary which lead to a group of interested people coming out for a bloggers’ dinner. And Austin and us talked about things related to DemoCamp and BarCamp. I still remember calling East Side Mario to reserve a table and then arriving early to ensure everything was all set.
