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.

Event details:

It’s All About The One - You! Join Bay Area singles at SingleLifeCamp, an offline social networking experience for single ones. It's a BarCamp or unconference experience where you’ll create the event as the day progresses identifying topics of personal interest. As more of us are choosing to live single, we need information about stuff besides finding a date, getting a mate or hooking up.

Over a yummy Sunday Brunch, small group sessions, and a fantasy reception we’ll pool resources on how to get stuff done in the other 95% of our life. Like: running a company solo, buying a house on your own, dining for one, your get my drift. It’s not a dating event…SingleLifeCamp is devoted to celebrating a new definition of “the one” - the singular single.
