TechSmith

TechSmith is the name behind Camtasia Studio and Snagit, two of the most popular screencasting/capture applications for Windows and Mac.

People everywhere use their products to grab images and record content straight off their computer screens to create dynamic presentations and screencasts. With their products, people communicate more effectively and create interest with engaging visuals and sharp videos that grab attention and keep it. TechSmith develops and updates their innovative software every day and plans to continue expanding their existing products to support the Mac platform.

We’d like to thank TechSmith for their continuing support of BarCamps around the world at sponsoring the Lunch at BarCamp MediaCity UK.

Our second sponsor we’d like to announce is Open Labs @ Liverpool John Moores University. They are providing you with one of the lunches so be sure to say hi.

Open Labs@LJMU helps local creative technology companies think globally.

Open Labs supports local creative technology companies to develop new products and services that capitalise upon global opportunities. Central to this support is an extensive and varied event programme that is built upon Open Labs’ research into emerging markets, technologies and trends and its relationships with global companies such as Google as well as successful local entrepreneurs.

There are only 8 days remaining till the BBC opens its doors for the 36 hour BarCampMediaCityUK event.

As you may have heard the event is totally SOLD OUT. This means all the public tickets have been sold.

If you are one of the lucky ones who did get a ticket, you will receive a email on the address you registered with. Asking you to confirm you’re coming to the event. It will also include more details about getting to the venue, times, etc. It’s important that you do follow the instructions in the email otherwise we will assume that you are no longer coming and give up your ticket to someone else on the waiting list!!

Now that’s out the way… It’s also time to start thinking about what you would like to give a session about…?

I thought this top 10 which I created might help… It’s the Top 10 Technology related trends. You may disagree and if you do we can chat about it at BarCamp or you can even remix the list on top10.co.
