Technically speaking, it's free. We will be asking for a suggested donation of $20 from all participants to offset costs like food, drink and so forth.
How to Register
Simply edit this page and add your version of the following information (if you can't figure out how to edit this page, email your info to barcampvancouver@googlegroups.com or if you are desperate :-) call Roland at 604 729 7924) :
- Name
- email address
- website
- session(s) you'd like to lead - you can do a 5 minute lightning talk, a presentation or anything in between or even make something like hardware or software! Sessions that are discussions or even questions are encouraged. You are not guaranteed a session unless you show up for the scheduling session at 9a.m. on Saturday August 26th or convince one of the BarCampVancouverScheduleCoordinators (grab one of them opening night Friday August 25th or email barcampvancouver@googlegroups.com and plead your case!)
- IMPORTANT: You don't have to lead a session if you are not up to that. All we want is active participation not passive. This could be as simple as blogging about a session, speaking up at somebody else's sesion, etc.
Feel free to also set up a personal page or topic page on this wiki or elsewhere on the web and link your information to it.
Please Note: BarCampVancouver registration is first-come, first-served, and we have a limit of ninety 120 participants. We'll edit this page occasionally as names are added to update the count of spots remaining.
