South America has one of the world's fastest growing tech scenes, and I'm happy to see Elgg supporters in the thick of it!  Only months after the second successful Elgg Camp Buenos Aires, Lucila Campos and Susana Cipriota from Condiminds are organizing another Elgg Camp--Elgg Camp Santiago.  Lucila writes in with more details below!

We are proud to announce that the event that joins Elggers from around the world is finally taking place in one of the cities most interested in entrepreneurship in Latin America, Santiago!

Santiago de Chile has this great environment for developing new ideas as they goal is to became the entrepreneurship hub of the region and all the conditions are given! As Elgg wouldn't miss that, this May 11th ElggCamp Santiago will gather more than 150 people at the Universidad Mayor's auditorium in order to discover Elgg's possibilities, explore new ideas, get new points of view and meet like minded people or possible partners for future development.

This is an invitation for all Latin Americans interested on developing, entrepreneurship, social media, marketing online and any other discipline that can get benefits from the development of a social network. This year's event will be as big as it can get as Brett Profitt, Elgg.org's tech lead, will fly from Ohio to Santiago in order to present details on the Elgg 1.8 final version. There will also be speakers from Colombia and Argentina... do not miss that!
