What is a Barcamp? 

Barcamp is a gathering of people interested in startups, technology, education, media, travel, popular culture etc. It is always so much fun. We share what we are working on, get inspired and make new friends. If this is your first barcamp, please check out  the visual guide to barcamps.  The previous barcamps in Singapore were hosted by IDA, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Google and we had hundreds of participants from around the region.

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.
