Be Prepared to Participate
TorCamp is only as much fun as participants make it. Be prepared to lead or participate in a session, ask interesting questions, show off what you're working on, and generally leave your mark on the weekend. There are no spectators, only participants. This also isn't a corporate services sales pitch, if you are doing something interesting that's okay, but the goal is to get a great group of people together and learn.
Speaking of, if you're planning to attend then add yourself to this page think about contributing a session or ideas to the PossibleTopics:
