Nothing like starting the new year by meeting familiar faces and creating new contacts on a Barcamp.

eCommerce Barcamp Barcelona 2010

The date is for January 28th in Barcelona Activa with all the Barcelona entrepreneurs, webmasters and ecommerce professionals under one roof, all gather around the eCommerce Barcamp Barcelona.

It is an important event for all us that have StartUps  that have SAAS (Software as a service) and sell products or services online. For us that engage with realtors and provide a service that advertises real estate properties,  it will be interesting to see what kind of initiatives we can incorporate from outside our industry and into Mexico border real estate market.

At a closer look, it is not a 100% Barcamp. There is already an agenda setup and we will have to see if the speakers will engage with the audience to create open discusions in their talks. None the less everyone will learn something in this unconference.

But the week does not end with the Barcamp, from the 29th to 30th of January there is a conference focused on Catalan bloggers in Granollers-Spain called Catosfera 2010 under the Citizen Technology Week of  CDigital Granollers.

CDigital Granollers - Catosfera 2010

This conference is focused on the Catalunya Web community, so many of the content will be in Catalan. But do not worry last years event featured many Spanish and English speaking presenters and none of us where excluded in any way what so ever.

So do not think this is a procatalan only event, this is a gathering for different people that are united by their interested for the Web, like writers and artists. So many panels and discussions will be on hand.

I highly recommend that you take the time to go to the event.

2010 is beggining to shape up for a lot of debate on the economic crisis situation, entrepreneurship and the opportunities that are developed by social media on the Internet, but most importantly is their interaction with the physical world.
