beCamp is September 28/29 2012 @ CitySpace, Charlottesville, VA (on Downtown Mall)

 

Friday 5pm & Saturday 9am. See who is coming and add your name to the list! Contact Ron with questions.

 

beCamp is Charlottesville's tech meetup of the year. beCamp is...

 

  • a free high-quality participant-driven event, a conference-grade unconference
  • for software developers, sysadmins/devops, designers, and business developers
  • the place to meet/join Charlottesville's tech community (new? you'll feel welcome!)
  • the inspiration of many great meetups throughout the year
  • going strong after 6 years of meetups

 

beCamp is the venue -- you are the agenda! Come Friday night / Saturday day to share, learn, and present topics selected by the crowd.

 

The Format

 

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.

 

Friday Night

 

 

 

Saturday Day

 

 

The Venue

 

This year we are again using the bright airy CitySpace facility, on the downtown mall, underneath the parking garage.  CitySpace has an open layout which meshes well with our OpenSpace conference. We'll have a large room that can hold all 100 of us, as well as 4 or 5 break out rooms for the individual sessions.

 

Wireless, food, beer

Campers

We are limited to around 100 people attending this event, so please only signup if you are planning on being there both Friday and Saturday.  Last year we had a large number of folks come for the beer and fun on Friday, but not actually to contribute to the conference on Saturday!   Some folks were therefore not able to signup.

(please add yourself along with your email/website to the bottom of this list)
