The other major benefit of the day is the numerous connections you’ll make with a sphere of professionals. TribeCamp is a unique experience by LaunchMemphis and LunaWeb designed to foster the community of entrepreneurship in Memphis.

If you have knowledge or expertise on a current Web 2.0 topic, we want to hear from you. Presentations last about 30 minutes with 10 to 15 minutes left for informal Q and A. You can PowerPoint if that’s your thing, or doodle on a white board if that’s more your style. The setting is casual and the idea is to share and gain knowledge — and mingle and make connections, of course.

If you’re interested in speaking or presenting, give us a shout as soon as you can. We’ll begin posting the speakers and session topics as soon as we have them so you can begin planning out your TribeCamp experience. If you’re not up for presenting, head here to register as an attendee. TribeCamp is a Launch Memphis event.

If you’re interested in participating in TribeCamp as a speaker or presenter or sponsoring the event either with a monetary donation or gifts-in-kind for door prizes and SWAG, give us a shout here.

Check back here frequently, as we’ll be updating regularly with new information. You can also follow us on Twitter (@TribeCamp) or become a fan on Facebook.
