Innovation is the real name of the game. Back to the name BarCampBank. We do not have such a strong distinction in Europe between Banks and CUs, so we never thought of the name as being one-sided. The important thing anyhow is that anyone interested in innovating in a CU, a bank or as an entrepreneur building an entirely new business model can meet with like minded people and freely exchange ideas during these unconferences.
