BarCamp Tampa, Your Unconference


Unlike traditional meetings, a BarCamp, is what is known as an unconference where people interested in a wide range of technologies come together to participate, teach and learn. The format does not have scheduled speakers. Instead, the morning of the BarCamp, everyone proposes the sessions they would like to have covered. Those sessions are put on a schedule and groups form and start an intense session of learning. Everyone who attends a BarCamp is expected to teach and to participate. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.

People who attend should be prepared to share with barcampers, and when they leave be prepared to share it with the world.

This page has been placed for public commenting on both what they would like to see at Tampa’s BarCamp as well as what they would like to share. Please take a few moments to introduce yourself and share with the Great Tampa Bay area your vision for BarCamp Tampa!

Want to be propose a topic? Want something discussed at the event? Got a problem on your mind, an unusual angle, or an interesting anecdote? Share it here and then propose it at the beginning of camp.

There is no pre-existing agenda. BarCamp sessions will be determined using the Open Space process. Attendees will propose session topics during the opening session. Each proposed available timeslot sessions will get their own rooms and attendees will choose which sessions they want to attend. This format encourages group discussion. See Open Space Technology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology) for more details.
