We are pleased to announce that the 5th BarCampBankLondon “Unconference” will be taking place on Monday 6th February 2012 at the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) at 1 Plough Place, London, EC41 1DE, with support from Consult Hyperion. (Please note that this is the day before Finovate London 2012.)
The aim of BarCampBank is to foster cross-sector communication and innovation around new business models in the world of banking and finance. It is organised on a participant-driven agenda around the future for financial services in the now-traditional unconference format. Some of the topics that we expect to see raised at this event include P2P business models, new technology and financial inclusion, micropayments, the impact of new regulatory frameworks, and alternative and complementary currencies.
There will be a £10 charge for this event, payable via Paypal on registration, which will go directly to charity.

Steward Townsend approved BarCampBankLondon 1 and 2 being hosted at Sun while he was there. So without him we'd probably never have managed to start the events at all.
He's now working for ICAP and is promoting a seed fund/incubator for early stage financial technology startups.
