EmpowerThyself.com is hosting the camp and celebrating a second anniversary party!
Saturday October 25th & 26th, @ Noon @ Empowerment HQ 948 Eastern Ave. & Second Life HQ

What to bring
Presentations: Empowercamp is a place for show and tell. Bring interesting topics, tools and technology for presentation, discussion and feedback. There will be fire spinning so if you have fire spinning tools, bring them.
Visual Aids: If you are giving a talk, it is a good idea to bring a visual aid. Bring something to hand out, a powerpoint presentation, a visual poster, something to pass around, anything to give people something to see and touch while they listen.
Food: Lunch will be a potluck so if you have some food and drinks, bring it. Barcamp and the Uber Dance Party at midnight are both BYOB so bring your drinks.
Friends: Bring your friends, especially your brilliant basement dweller geek friends with big brains.
Camping Gear: If you want to spend the night, bring whatever you need: sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and even tents for building sweet indoor forts. Pictured Right: Intense meta-tents within tents at Barcamp San Diego
