  • Important (please read):  We're using Eventbrite this year to help us maintain one consolidated list of registered attendees, and we need your cooperation! Barcamps, typically have a no-show rate of about 35 percent, which is too high if we want to avoid waste and spend our sponsor money wisely and efficiently. Please sign up on Eventbrite only if you are committed to attending the event. If you sign up and later find out you won't make it, please take your name off the list. There is no upper limit of attendees at this point, and we're pretty sure we'll be able to accommodate last-minute sign-ups. But for planning purposes, please help us keep this list as accurate as possible. Thank you!

Stuff we might talk about...

To give you a better idea of what PrivacyCampDC is all about, here's a list of topics that may be addressed (in no particular order). A lot of these terms overlap and there often isn't a clear-cut boundary with neighboring themes. Please add which angle you're coming from:

• Government protection of consumer privacy
• Internet privacy regulations
• Deep Packet Inspection
• Obama Administration and Privacy
• Health Care Reform and Privacy
• Voter Privacy
• Add your topic...

Please help make this event sharable!

There are many folks around the world interested in these topics who can't all attend in person. It would be very nice if all sessions could be recorded (audio, video, live stream) or otherwise documented or captured (wiki, blogs, Twitter etc.). Please indicate below if you can bring equipment or have experience in helping others make their sessions sharable. Thanks!
