BarCamp 2008 Schedule Online

The date is Friday, September 26 - Saturday, September 27, 2008.

This is around the same time as the Canada National Digital Media Day on September 25th.

The mostly empty (at the current time) session grid can be found at BarCampVancouver2008Schedule. After the Scheduling Jam, we can start filling in the schedule.

What is BarCamp?

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 are encouraged to give a demo, a session, a presentation, or help with one. All attendees are expected to be participants. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall.

Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can’t be present.

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