What is TribeCamp Memphis? Well first what is a Tribe? “A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea”, writes author Seth Godin, in his book, Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us. Thanks to the internet, and the immediacy of modern communications, a tribe is no longer restricted by time or space. From a group of like minded people, a tribe of dedicated followers will emerge. Any group of dedicated individuals can join the cause from anywhere in the world. OK now what is TribeCamp? Tribes of the Mid-South and beyond are invited to join us in Memphis to learn from each other, have concentrated meetings of their with their tribal members or mix with other tribes. You’ll even learn about the tools that are enabling and empowering other tribes to get going. Whether you are part of a tribe or looking to learn as an objective observer this will be a unique experience guaranteed. How will TribeCamp Work? Let’s begin by deciding what TribeCamp, most definitely, is not. TribeCamp is not every other tech conference you’ve ever been to. The ones with cold coffee and colder speakers discussing topics that have been decided, possibly months in advance, with little or no audience input. It is not something you go to planning to sit still, look straight ahead, and try not to cough… or snore. It is THE un-conference. TribeCamp is interactive and user-generated. There are pre-chosen topics
