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 participants.

MobileCampNYC was the first MobileCamp to be held in NYC and focus on mobile technology.

MobileCampSF is going to similarly bring together mobile enthusiasts, explorers and professionals (this time in the San Francisco metropolitan area) to share the current state and their visions for the future direction of mobility. MobileCampSF hopes to support the many voices helping to unlock the potential of a truly digital life. Topics may include - but are not limited to - mobile gaming, entrepreneurship, social mobility and presence, near field communication, physical hyperlinking, mobile storytelling, the importance of open standards, protocols, and platforms, linux based devices, and mobility on other continents.

Check out the TheRulesOfBarCamp to learn what to expect.
