WebcampSaigon 1, a dedicated community by designers for designers, was quite a success, with 20 attendees showing up on the day. In this post I will brief you on what was going on at the event (if you didn’t catch that on Twitter) and some insights regarding where this newly-formed community will be heading.
Webcamp Saigon 1 is an Camp-ed event dedicated to the Web Design and Front-end Development community in the Southern part of Vietnam.
The “Unconference” is e27’s flagship event and the 2009 version will be the 7th time we have held it since 2006. Styled after DEMO or more Techcrunch50, we want to showcase Asia-based web startups and provide the growing community a chance to mingle, cross-pollinate ideas and learn from each other’s market experience. Past startup demos and attendees include Wego (funded by NewsCorp AU in 2008), FirstMeta the virtual-world only bank, Tencube a mobile security service, Nuffnang the #1 blog-focused ad network in Southeast Asia and featured in Businessweek’s Top 25 Young Asian Entrepreneurs of 2008.
