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 and make new friends. If this is your first barcamp, please check out  the visual guide to barcamps.  We will have multiple rooms for people to run discussions and presentations. Come early in the day to post your topic on the topic wall if you want to lead a session. Each session will run for 30 minutes. We will also run lighting talks - every presenter gets 5 minutes to do a mini-presentation. The previous barcamps in Singapore were hosted by the Infocomm Development Auhtority (IDA) and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

1PM to 2 PM: Lunch

3PM to 6PM: Multiple sessions in multiple rooms

7 PM: Barcamp afterparty at Hackerspace.sg.

 

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. Keep your presentations short - say 10 or 15 minutes and spend more time on discussions, Q&A. Post your presentations on Slideshare.net with the tag barcampsg5. If you are running a longer session, a hack session, book two simultaneous slots.

 

Note for those attending sessions

Barcamps have something called the "Law of Two Feet".  Move on to another room if you don't find a particular discussion interesting. We will have about 200 people from Singapore and abroad joining us.  We will try to accommodate as many as we can but expect only standing room for popular presentations.
