IdeaCamp|DA-IICT
What's this all about?
IdeaCamp|DA-IICT is a Technology UnConference at DA-IICT. Organised by CEID, it is an informal gathering of the creative minds dwelling in Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar twin city, looking for a platform to facilitate exchange and generation of thoughts and ideas.
IdeaCamp|DA-IICT is based on the BarCamp format.
A 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.
It is an interactive platform where all participants present, share, speak-up or at least be active listeners.

IdeaCampDA-IICT is an initiative to provide a common platform to budding entrepreneurs, thinkers, developers, technologists, and students from across the city to come together. It will be a 1 day event, an experiment in bringing people together in an open and collaborative environment of sharing and learning. The following quote by G.B. Shaw epitomizes the spirit of IdeaCampDA-IICT:
"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."

We would like to have some structure and have a few "pre-defined" presentations with extra time allotted for ad-hoc conversations afterwards as well as some sessions that are group/panel discussions.
In short, we'd like to have an event with some structure, but with plenty of time to interact with the presenters, talk with fellow attendees and get insights that don't find a place on ppt presentations.
Here are a few random ideas for sessions:
- Sharing your knowledge of specific technology (computing and otherwise)
- New techniques in your artistic ventures
- Project(s) that you would like to get off the ground, but need input on some of the missing pieces
- Things you think people should be aware of (projects, concerns about technology, specific areas of interest, etc.)
