Via the the just-discovered Rapid Growth website, here’s a quick video from BarCampGR:

- BarCamps instead of SXSW?

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending BarCampGR and I tell you - it’s really got me thinking about professional conferences/seminars, and my involvement at them.

As many of you know, I’m putting together the first Classroom Training for ExpressionEngine. I’m elbows-deep in books about ice-breakers, group activities, and becoming an “instant trainer”.
Trouble is, most of the resources I was able to get from the local library are a bit aged - at least in terms of the internet era. While many of the fundamentals are still solid, many of the ideas and examples are showing their age (like - forming a line and giving a shoulder massage to the person in front of you…).
So I’m looking for your stories and comments. If you’ve been to any kind of training - software training especially - recently, what do you remember from it? Were there exercises or class activities that really drove the point home for you?
Conversely - was there anything that had you furiously writing a small novel on the feedback form? Total disasters, train wrecks, equipment failures, awkward moments—dish me some dirt!
