Thanks for coming to BarCamp NewsInnovation 2010!

First, nothing should be said about BCNI without thanking the Temple University Department of Journalism as the event’s main sponsor. Without , the conference would have been in my basement in Fishtown, and nobody wants that.

I’d also like to thank eMediaVitals for picking up the tab to try taping the sessions, Technically Philly for the labor and lunch help, SPJ for helping pick up the cost of supplies and WhoWhatNow for paying for breakfast.

Variety’s Chris Krewson once called BCNI a Philly Cheesesteak: messy but ultimately satisfying. And in that spirit this post will be kind of all over the place.

The Stats:

208: signups
118: actual attendees
225: bottles of water
24: cans of Sprite
48: cans of Cherry Coke
4: boxes of Herr’s chips
5: sponsors
24: sessions
16: boxes of Joe
7: left unopened

Etc.

• Videos taken will be available soon.
• Other than Philadelphia, I’m pretty sure Sacramento was the most-represented city
• Other than Temple, Rowan University had the most attendees.

And probably, the coolest part, is that there is a BCNIBoston in the works.
