  • 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!
