(As stolen from BarCampNYC, as copied from...) BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees.
All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. All presentions are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall.
Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can’t be present.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
There are no spectators, only participants!
When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
First Timer? Get a feeling for BarCamp.
Not sure if you want to attend?
