Sydney's inaugural [Social Innovation BarCamp](http://socialinnovationbarcamp.org/?ref=katecarruthers.com) went well yesterday.

The day kicked off with an [opening talk by the Hon. Bob Carr](http://socialinnovationbarcamp.org/2010/08/15/room-a-sessions-14-aug-2010-sibsyd/?ref=katecarruthers.com), who kindly gave his time to support this event.

Throughout the day we had some amazing networking and discussion sessions focused on creating sustainable futures and directing innovation towards social good.

We also had a lovely lunch sponsored by [Cisco](http://socialinnovationbarcamp.org/2010/08/04/cisco-sponsor-the-social-innovation-barcamp/?ref=katecarruthers.com) and coffee sponsored by [AskHer](http://askher.com.au/?ref=katecarruthers.com).

I'm very grateful to everyone who helped out to make this event work, in particular my co-*un*\-organisers Selena Griffith and Michelle Williams.
