TriConf: Barcamp Tri-Cities | July 22-24

Sponsored by:
  

We'll be hosted by the beautiful Richland Public Library [map] and the event is sponsored by Richland Public Library, &yet, <!doctype society>, and nGenuity.

TriConf is a barcamp—a self-organizing "wiki" conference all about sharing knowledge. This barcamp is focused on Technology/Web, Design/Communication, & Entrepreneurship.

 

THE TWO RULES:

1. Absolutely everyone has something to share!

2. Vote with your feet—as soon as you're not getting something out of a session, you should go to another one where you will—or start your own conversation!
