Notes for those presenting or leading a discussion

Technically you have only 25 minutes, as we need 5 minutes for people to exit and enter. If you are showing PowerPoint, try to keep it short - say 10 or 15 minutes and spend more time on discussions, Q&A. If you have some pictures, say a case study that features your customers, and you don't want these blogged, please caution the audience before you start the presentation. Post your presentations on Slideshare.net with the tag barcampsg5

Note for those attending sessions

Barcamps have something called the "Law of Two Feet".  If you don't find  the discussion in your room interesting, move on to another room. We will have about 200 people from Singapore and abroad joining us,  we wanted to accommodate as many as we could, there might only be standing room in some of the rooms.

We need your help

While uploading your pictures, videos, blogs, twitters etc, use the barcampsg5 tag.
