Sweet! BarCampNYC2 is happening this weekend!

What is it?

BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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. All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one.

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn are welcome and invited to join.

When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.

When?

Saturday, September 30 - Sunday, October 1, 2006 (with sleepover)

10:00am - 5pm, with dinner to follow on Saturday

Registration starts at 9:30am on Saturday
