A BarCamp is an informal gathering where people interested in a particular topic meet to discuss ideas and collaborate. At a BarCamp, attendees can expect to engage in open conversations on various topics, meet interesting people from different backgrounds, build projects together, and form long-lasting friendships. There are few structured rules - participants are encouraged to discuss anything of interest, move between sessions as desired, and everyone contributes on an equal level. The goal is to have an engaging and fun experience in a free-flowing environment without formal presentations or audiences.

1. What is a BarCamp?
And what can you expect to get out of it!

2. A BarCamp is about
conversations
Essentially, a meetup of friends

3. At a BarCamp, you…

4. …share what matters,
To you, to others, to everyone

5. …engage in intense
conversations,
Discuss everything under the Sun

6. …meet lots of
interesting people,
Some of them will always be very, very interesting

7. … more people,
Anyone remembers 3 Idiots?

8. …build stuff with them,
BarCamp planning is one of my most memorable experiences

9. and, start long-lasting
friendships.
5 out of 7 people in this BCB2 picture formed Headstart

10. Don’t forget, it is about
having loads of fun too!
The ‘freedom from structure’ is intoxicating.

11. Okay, so how do you
do it?

12. 1. Some Enthu people get
together
They just emerge from the community!

13. 2. The team works
No one tangibly gains much from a BarCamp

14. 3. Introduce in one line
Breaks the trend, makes you aware of who’s who

15. 4. Use ‘Paper Wiki’
3M never thought Post-Its could be used for creating event
agendas!

16. 5. Lead engaged discussions
There is no ‘speaker’ and no ‘audience’: Everyone is a
participant

17. …break the structure,
All that matters is you contributing and gaining new ideas!

18. … make yourself count!
Everyone contributes, no exception!

19. 6. Carry the session outside
The discussions in a corridor are the most exciting ones!

20. 7. Iterate 5-6 over and over
Improvise, build, collaborate, improvise again…

21. 8. In the end, celebrate!
A BarCamp well done is memory forever!

22. So, what are the rules?
Are there any?

23. #1 Talk about anything
As long as it interests you and someone else too!

24. #2 Law of two feet
If you aren’t contributing to a session, move out to one where
you can

25. #3. Everyone is equal
There are no ‘speakers’ and no ‘audiences’. All conversations
are many-to-many

26. #4. Everyone contributes
There are no organizers. If you think something is not
working, feel free to set it right

27. Okay, thanks for explaining.
