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.

Event details (history...)
Why?
The Internet is currently going through an exciting time. Web 2.0, OpenID, Social Networking etc.. The UK is at the forefront of a lot of this innovation. The North of England is full of enterprising and innovative individuals / businesses but we have to travel to London to talk to kindred spirits. Not any more!
We want BarCampSheffield to showcase the best that the UK has to offer. We want to share knowledge, experience and techniques. If you have a great idea, have developed a great Web App / Mashup or are simply interested in finding out what everyone else in the market is doing then come along. Everyone is Welcome!
To make things interesting we have secured another £1000 award for the best / most innovative web application / mashup by a UK developer(s). All you have to do is come to Sheffield and demonstrate it. Our sponsors are also keen to help you get your application / mashup out into the public. Meecard won the £1000 prize at the first BarCampSheffield event.
So, if you want to help share your knowledge or simply talk to people with like minded interests - then come on and join us.
Volunteers to help arrange / promote the event are urgently required.
