Demos

BarCamps aren't trade shows. We will allot two sessions to let local small/startup companies demo their product in a few minutes or less. The purpose is to show off cool ideas, find collaborators or potential hires and wow the audience.

 

Resume Swap

Let's face it - the job market is heating up again. Folks looking for new opportunities are welcome to bring copies of their resume for employers to peruse. A resume swap works like this:

  • You bring ten paper copies of your resume
  • We put them in a folder
  • If employers like what they see, they take a copy and email you

Pretty brainless. So start polishing up your resume.

 

Session Schedule

 

TBD - A note about BarCampRDUScheduling

 

(So, how do you claim sessions?) - Once we get a date, people can start claiming sessions. To do so, they'll just select a session, and put their name next to it. On the morning of BarCamp, they'll place their session on the BarCamp schedule.

  • Food and refreshments
