Barcamp Singapore 3 is here!

Saturday, 28 February, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore. The venue, Teaching and Learning Centre has five classrooms for presentations and several large open areas just outside for discussions, demos etc. The entire area has wi-fi.

 

Objective

To bring together interesting people in the IT, media, energy, bio-tech and other sectors to share ideas in an collegial atmosphere of unabashed geekery.

 

How to get to the venue?

The venue is Teaching and Learning Centre at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, 535 Clementi Road, Singapore - 599489

The easiest way to get to Ngee Ann Polytechnic is via bus number 74 from Dover MRT (EW Line).  As you exit from the ticket turnstiles, turn to your left to EXIT A to a bridge. At the end of the bridge is an escalator to the bus stop below.  Take bus number 74 (every 10 to 15 minutes). Counting the starting bus stop, Ngee Ann Polytechnic is the 9th stop.  The stop before Ngee Ann is Singapore Institute of Management.

We will place signs at the Ngee Ann bus stop leading you to the actual venue.

From Clementi MRT, you can take bus number 154 and 184.  Bus numbers 52, 61, 74, 75, 151, 154, 184 also ply by Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Our timekeepers will alert you at 15 minutes and they will stop you at 25. 5 minutes are reserved for changeover and setting up of next presenter's laptop. Projectors and wi-fi is available in all the classrooms.

Ideas for the audience

There are so many interesting sessions running simultaneously and often its hard to pick the one to attend.  The more we blog, the more sessions we can follow virtually. If you are going to be twittering about the barcamp, use the prefix #barcampsg3 on your message. If you would posting pictures to Flickr or videos on YouTube, please use the tag barcampsg3

 Barcamps are also a good venue to demo the intersting gadgets you have. Please bring your Kindles, Android phones, Netbooks etc.

Other stuff

We have had overwhelming response and we don't want to exclude anyone from the barcamp. This means we'll have to remove some of the tables and chairs in the classrooms to make more space. Some of us will have to stand at the back or sit on the floor.

We have arranged for lunch and refreshments during the tea break. Ngee Ann also has an excellent food court just minutes walk from the venue. 

 We are also trying to find a place where we hang out after the event. Most likely it will be at Holland Village as it is close to the venue.
