TweetCamp - the original . . .

*Last batch of Tickets are now being released at tweetcamp.eventbrite.com so sign up now if you haven't done so already!*

The Tweetcamp will be happening in Richmond, on the 27th June 2009, at Gumtree's Offices, in Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, right near the Thames.  TweetCamp will run from 10am till 6pm.  For the latest information about tweetcamp, please follow @tweetcamp join the discussions on the blog, or add your contributions to this wiki.

What is a TweetCamp? 

It's an informal unconference style event, run over a day, with hours, of non-stop engagement, interaction, and fun!

Following on the success from #twestival and #twinterval, and meeting people, and missing friends, and fellow twitterers - it feels like we need to have more time to catch up with folks,  and drift in and out of conversations..

Before you come spend a lot of time, see what you like about it and how it can be part of a lifestyle rather than a work tool. The more conversations you will have had on Twitter the more fun it will be to finally meet these people in person.
