Sessions Planned (please see the session listings below for descriptions)
Add a BarCampKC session for anything you are interested in so like-minded folks can get together and discuss the topic(s). At barcampkc sessions don't need to be big productions, though that's fine too. They can range from lightly structured discussions to coding jam sessions to full fledged, ready to take on the road presentations. We'll get a schedule of the sessions firmed up when we kick things off.
There will even be open spaces at the event for spontaneous topics and sessions just find an open spot and some friends and start talking.
Use the existing sessions below as templates. Note the anchor tag that will allow you to link directly to the description
