A BarCamp is an intensely participant-driven conference where attendees share and learn in an open environment. The primary goal of BarCamp is education of attendees. As compared to a traditional conference, the large majority of the talks, panels and other sessions are organized organically the day of the event. People propose presentations and it all gets sorted out at the beginning. Trust us, it just works. BarCamp is an event format that has been successfully applied across the country, including Oklahoma City.
We held the first BarCamp in Oklahoma City in July of 2009. We had approximately 60 attendees participate in 20 sessions divided into two simultaneous tracks. Session topics included HTML, Javascript, JQuery, Cloud computing, NoSQL, Python, PHP, Web 2.0 Business Models, Online Startups, and Growing Online Businesses.
No spectators, participants only
All attendees are required to participate by giving a talk, being on a panel, demonstrating designs or code, giving a tutorial, leading or participating in a discussion, or volunteering to help organize, promote or staff the event.
Share to learn
BarCamp is an open learning environment. For the benefit of everyone, at and after the event, you will be expected to share. If you give a talk, we'll tape your presentation and distribute it online with your slides afterwards. If you participate on a panel, we'll stream your video live. If you write a tutorial or a blog post, we'll link to your site. The best way to learn is to share.
