One of the conclusions from the feedback at TEDxManchester was around the lack of non-digital topics involving innovation. Well BarCampManchester2 aimed to put that right with a completely open style where the people don't just attend, they participate in the whole event. The Unconference format as its termed is right for those topics to come out which you would never get at a large conference style event. Top that by setting the whole event in a location famous for arts, music and performance and you got a recipe for a exciting weekend (The Pictures say it all I think).
There was everything from a Beatboxing workshop to a discussion on what role religion has in a digital world where all information is free. Lessons learned running a startup to deconstructing social engineering for good and bad. Google wave usage to group dynamics on twitter. It was all available alongside pizzas, sandwiches, ice cream and silly amounts of sugary food to keep people up through the night.
