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
Session Descriptions
| Airports, Open wifi, and evil hackers. Your data data is mine. |
| Bill Swearingen |
| Open Wifi is everywhere, hell you might be using it right now. Do you realize that anyone can see what you are doing? Come watch as I discuss the security implications of open wifi, and do LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS demonstrating common attacks. People with heart problems, health complaints, pregnant women and children below a certain height and age should probably take the chicken exit. |
| Humanoid Robots, The Past, Present and Future. |
| Mike Overstreet |
The main point of the discussion will be on how robots will fit in at the workplace, at home and in public. Also I will demonstrate my humanoid robot and all the things that he can do.

Programming with Kids
|
David Mitchell
|
| Getting kids interested in programming. Discuss coding environments that are good for kids. I'll have some open-source installs for Linux, Mac, and Windows if you want to hack along. This is a discussion/experimentation session for adults who want to introduce programming to kids they know, but kids are welcome as well. |

| Social Media as a Loyalty Marketing Tool for Restaurants and Retailers |
| Joe Frost and Grant Stanley |
| Using Social Media tools like Twitter and Facebook, Restaurants and Retailers can create loyalty marketing campaigns that can be tracked and related back to sales to show ROI. When properly set up, tracked, and managed retailers can create a whole separate Loyalty Marketing program for a fraction of the cost of traditional card based programs. We want to share our Contemporary Analysis platform and Elify marketing strategy. |
