What is BarCampPortland? -- Portland Geek Culture

BarCampPortland is an unconference for the Portland tech community, produced BY the Portland tech community. Interesting topics, cool people, great networking opportunities, wifi, and more! Building an active tech community in Portland, Oregon.

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 participants. You never quite know what to expect at BarCamp. When you arrive on Friday, there will be an agenda framework (times / rooms), but the content for the sessions will be decided by the participants.

This video does a great job of explaining the idea behind BarCamps and how they work.

Please help us produce as little trash as possible (Compost & Recycle)

At the first BarCamp we produced 16 bags of compost and 3 bags of trash. We have already taken out two bags of trash. Please don't make us take out any more.

  • Paper plates, napkins and food should all be composted (there are compost bins in Agora (room with the food) and The Forum (largest meeting room).
  • Widmer cups are recyclable. Paper is recyclable. All recyclables can go in the large cardboard recycling bins all around CubeSpace. Questions? Ask anyone at the front desk or anyone who seems clueful around you.
