BarCamp is an ad-hoc technology 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. The event doesn't cost any money, but there is a price: 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.
