Join Charlottesville's tech meetup of the year.
beCamp is September 28/29 2012 @ CitySpace on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, VA
Friday 5pm & Saturday 9am.
See who is coming and add your name to the list. Contact Ron with questions. 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.
The Venue
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.
The Sponsors
We have an excellent line-up of very generous sponsors. Details are here: Sponsor beCamp 2012
