Worldwide phenomenon

Replicating the hallway conversations

Participatory un-conference

No spectators, only participants

BarCamp is for everyone

Some aspects of BarCamps

Everything is public

In regards to topics, everything goes...

The rule of two feet

Emphasis on sharing & networking

Late night entertainment

Take your time... we got all night

It's been 5 years in the making

Together let's make it extra special...

Thank you, see me at my stand
