This BarCamp is associated with (and directly precedes) Berlin Buzzwords. It will be an ad-hoc gathering to share and learn, covering many of the same themes as the main conference.
Event details
Date: Sunday 6th June
When: 5.30pm - 9pm (registration from 5pm)
Where: NewThinking Store - Tucholskystr. 48, 10117 Berlin
Themes
In keeping with the main Berlin Buzzwords conference, we're going to be focusing on similar themes!
The overriding theme of the evening is NoSQL. We're especially keen for people to discuss, and give talks on:
- Using NoSQL in new areas
- NoSQL comparisons (eg which is the best project for different content problems?)
- Deploying NoSQL - case studies and war stories
However, being a BarCamp, the exact schedule won't be decided until the day, based on who comes, and what everyone wants to hear about and talk on!
Sponsors
- Berlin Buzzwords - our sister event - 2 day conference on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th June on Scaling, Storing and Searching
- NewThinking Store - kindly providing the venue
We're still looking for sponsors for drinks and nibbles. Please get in touch if you can help!
Schedule
Everything is taking place on the evening of Sunday 6th June

- 6pm - First sessions begin

We have one large room, a small room, and a breakout space available to us. We'll run one main track, with a 2nd one if there's the demand. Most sessions will be 15 or 30 minutes, so we should be able to get through a lot of different things on the night!
There's a bar at the venue, so you can enjoy a drink or two during the talks. After the BarCamp, many of us will continue the discussions in a nearby restaurant. More details on that to follow!
