Event details

 

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 attendees, usually centered around technology topics. If you're not familiar with what BarCamp is, I'd recommend reading the rules.

 

Who Anyone and everyone in Grand Rapids, MI (and surrounding areas) who loves design and/or technology
When Friday evening, Aug 18 and Saturday, Aug 19, BarCampGrandRapidsSchedule
Where Science Building, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI
Cost Free! But come ready to present something and be involved!

 

There will be plenty of room in the North Hall to crash on Friday night, so bring a sleeping bag. Better yet, bring a tent for the geek base camp.
