A month 'til BarCampBankBC.

I'm starting to get really excited about BarCampBankBC, which is happening the weekend of September 20th here in beautiful Vancouver, BC. It should prove to be an amazing coming-together of some great minds in the world of banking, credit unions, social media, technology, innovation and social responsibility.

With just a month to go, we have 62 people who have signed up on the wiki, but only 30 who have registered and paid. Now 30 is still a pretty decent number, but...

...if you're thinking of coming to BarCampBankBC, please take a minute to register now!

It'll make the lives of the three organizers, me, Gene and Tim, a little easier.

Thanks, and see you there!

PS: I'm about to go to Alaska on a cruise with Amy and Ivan (my wife and son), so if I don't publish comments quickly or at all, please forgive me!

PPS: It's almost exactly a year since the first North American BarCampBank in Seattle, where so many great relationships and conversations started. A great milestone!

I'm planning to attend but need to pay cash when I get there. Believe it or not, my B of A Visa checkcard doesn't work online anymore...

I'm sure it's fine, Jeffry. Tim is the Treasurer, so shoot him an email as well. So glad you'll be there!
