Party

There will be a Barcamp party on the Saturday night. We're hoping that the party will be sponsored by local startups.

To sponsor, see http://www.barcampliverpool.com/sponsor.html

Details of the party will be announced later on, but we'll host the private and exclusive party at a city centre venue. We're hoping it'll be a free bar.

Competition

There will be a demo competition for startups / ideas, with some great prizes. More info later.
