I just returned from the BarCampBank San Francisco.
Unlike the BCB in Seattle last year, this one came with a souvenier t-shirt, over 45 of the smartest people I’ve ever met and a cool location – U Cal Berkeley.
Our single goal – to question everything as it relates to banking today. We questioned money, moving money, ethics in banking, ownership, laws, loyalty, relevance.
Remember that Far Side cartoon where a kid is raising his hand in class – and when called upon says “Teacher, can I be excused? My brain is full.”
That was me.
Thanks to our friends from across the pond Frederic Baud and friends (from France) and to Robbie Wright and Matt Iverson for pulling it together.

Hi Denise,
I saw the photos posted on Morriss Partee’s blog. Sure looked like you were surrounded by a “lot of testosterone”. I’m sure you held your own. I’m about to jump over to Young & Free Alberta’s first webcast on Yahoo Live! See Ya!

Oh I really didn’t do anything. I just helped Matt out at the door! It was a great time. PFM stuff seemed to be the hot topic. I can’t wait to see how all that turns out. Denise did a great job of dragging many other CU folks along with her that probably would never have attended if it wasn’t for her. San Francisco Fire, Addision Ave, and Citizen’s First all were in attendance. Great job Denise!

@Roger – I counted….about 5 dudes to every chick. But yes WE held our own.
@ Robbie – my CU friends are innovators. This rocked their world – expect great things to happen….
