BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

Tips for Sessions
Encourage Discussion: Camp is about discussions and sharing ideas, not to be bored to tears. It's OK to have a few slides if you need to explain something complex, but no one wants to sit through your Powerpoint 20 slides - leave that for the traditional conferences. We'll have projectors in both of the rooms, but why not just write a few notes on the board and encourage discussion. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet
Encourage Learning: A lot of us attending work on mobile products and services, and we want to tell everyone about what we're doing and maybe to get them to try stuff out. But, don't expect campers to sit through your standard sales pitch. It's better to tell people about what you learned while developing and delivering your product/service.
