And what's more..there is no registration fees! It's free and open to all, provided they have a genuine interest in listening to the speakers' innovative ideas and interacting with them.

... almost anybody who has a genuine interest in the field of Innovation and Creativity.

It is encouraged that all those who have innovative ideas which they would like to showcase on such an excellent platform to register as a speaker too.

It is not necessary that people who have made it Big can only speak at such 'un-conferences', rather people who think BIG in a fresh innovative way, are the perspective speakers.

That's what makes WiCamp special.

We present a free platform to present your ideas in front of professionals and leaders from varying fields and an extremely enthusiastic audience.

So...to all those hesitant about becoming a speaker...
