Schedule

Some of the people who proposed a topic early on have been slotted in. 20  slots will be decided via on-the-spot voting. If you have a topic in mind, please post it on the topic board at the Barcamp. Depending on how many people vote for your topic, you will be slotted in. Don't worry if you don't get enough votes for the bigger rooms listed below. We have multiple smaller rooms and you can move to those. 

 

Non Technology Angle

We are putting in effort to encourage participating from the creative arts, culture and social sciences. We are also inviting non-profit social organisations to join us to share your initiatives, ideas and challenges.

Great ideas and innovations usually emerge from a combination of right and left brain thinking! We think that this potent combination of people, ideas and raw energy with be both amazing and immensely rewarding.

We are open to you conducting sessions such as - "A hard, long and deep look into cultural diversity in New Guinea", "A 2 Hour Workshop Into Movie Script Writing - How Quentin Did It?" or even "Why Fundraising for Non Profit Organisations is Such a B****?".

Please contact the organisers (Preetam, preetam@gmail.com or Kelvin, kelvin@quee.org) if you would like to make advanced arrangements.

Guests from Abroad

We are putting up this page with information on flights, visas and guesthouses in Singapore.
