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.

The first BarCamp was conducted in Technopark Trivandrum. UST global sponsored the hall and a projector. The event was attended by 70+ techies from around the state. There were 10 interesting sessions. For all those who missed the event, this is your chance, BarCampKerala2
