About

BarCamp isn’t just a Web 2.0 conference. It’s an unconference. What does that mean, exactly? That’s up to you.

The first half of the day will feature predetermined, scheduled sessions like any other conference you’d attend, but in the afternoon the topic curating is turned over to you. Throughout the morning, you’ll vote on what you’d like to discuss or learn more about in the afternoon sessions so that BarCamp is hand-crafted to meet the needs of the community. The afternoon sessions might be panels or Q-and-A with specific BarCampers, or they might be roundtable discussions — Core Conversations, as we call them — with groups of Campers looking to bounce ideas and learn from others’ experiences.

But there is a way you can get involved in the process before the big day. We’re currently seeking speakers and topic ideas for BarCamp’s morning sessions. Head to the topics page to find out more.
