beCamp is the venue -- you are the agenda! Come Friday night / Saturday day to share, learn, and present topics selected by the crowd.
The most energizing parts of any tech conference are the discussions in the hallways and between the sessions, and beCamp is an entire event dedicated to this kind of interaction. beCamp is Charlottesville's version of the BarCamp unconference phenomenon—organized on the fly by attendees, for attendees.
CitySpace is centrally located on the downtown mall in Charlottesville, with an open layout and several places to hold sessions. We'll have a wireless network, meals, and drinks/coffee. Bring your enthusiasm, a laptop/tablet, and some business cards.
Need parking? See this map. Downtown Charlottesville has a lot of street parking. The closest garage is the Market Street Garage -- CitySpace is under the Market Street Garage. Directions are here.
We have an excellent line-up of very generous sponsors. Details are here: Sponsor beCamp 2012
