A Salon des Refusés, if you will? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_des_Refus%C3%A9s

Remember that Bar Camp started as the Bay Area Rejects Camp — those of us who Tim didn't invite to FOO.

Does Bar Camp have a site?

This is kind of bittersweet. While it's true entrepreneurial spirit that they pooled their resources and came together on something new, they could have done the same and helped NYC Startup Job Fair find new space to grow. It's not like the original organizer was rejecting them unfairly, they simply didn't have enough space. Now you have all that energy going in different directions instead of one, and the new group will likely make the same mistakes that have already been made. It's good for the NYC startup community regardless, just how good, we'll have to wait and see.

If anyone knows of any large centrally located venue in New York that would like to donate space for next year's NYC Startup Job Fair please let us know. We would love to be able to accommodate more than 40 companies. We like startups hiring smart people, it’s good for everyone.
