With the rise of the Internet and the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, social media and advanced telecommunications, crowdsourcing is all the rage these days and it’s easy to see its advantages. By outsourcing responsibilities and duties to a ‘crowd’ of people, you are benefitting from the talent and experience of the people most equipped to undertake the task in question.
To succeed in the Web 2.0 industry or the software market, your business’ best bet is to embrace crowdsourcing for what it is—a fast and cost-effective way of solving today’s problems and developing tomorrow’s technologies.
With so much to talk about, TechMeetups is organizing two events in London on 4 October and the evening activity is:
CrowdCamp Unconference (6-9pm) which will take place in London as well as other cities where TechMeetup Groups are active. As someone who is interested in crowdsourcing (or potentially an expert in the field) you can come along to our afternoon Unconference, meet other entrepreneurs, developers and crowdsourcing users to discuss your most pressing questions and challenges.
We will be inviting a great line up of crowdsourcing experts and innovative startups to give us more insight into most industry-changing trends, the best new platforms and tools. Yet, the stars of the show will remain the attendees: You can also become a presenter or lead a discussion on the day: just show up (the earlier the better) and choose a 30 minute time slot where the floor is yours!
The great space we’re using on the day also allows you to show up with your laptop/tablet/mobile and actually try out or show off crowdsourcing tools and platforms on the day.
And there’s more! Through TechMeetups’ growing global network of tech communities, the month of October will be the time when our 4,000+ members around the world are talking about crowdsourcing and crowdfunding atwww.techmeetups.com and via social media channels.
