What will be discussed at “BarCamp”?

We have divided the main topics into 3 categories, TOOLS, STRATEGY, AND CREATIVITY. The topics within each category are a general guide to what might be discussed. This list, can and should grow organically depending on what you want to discuss or learn about.

How it works:

Arrive at 5pm – Registration opens at 5pm and you will have 45 minutes to enjoy a beverage, network and post the three topics you would like to talk about on the board. This is a casual event, but come prepared, projectors will be supplied if you would like to better illustrate your discussion with a laptop. At approximately 5:45 we will vote on the topics to be talked about during the night.

Discussions start at 6pm – We will split into smaller groups and openly discuss the winning topics over the next 3 hours. If your topic is picked you will be asked to lead the discussion. This can be structured as a talk given by you – or a simple open forum discussion, including and pulling from the wealth of knowledge in the room! You can attend whatever topic you wish.

Networking, beer & wine at 9pm – We will have much to discuss, so stay for awhile, drink, network and be merry!

Will there be beer?

Well, in the true spirit of “barcamp” YES, you can purchase beer or wine at the event!
