Auckland’s second Barcamp still has places – though there are now less than 20 available. Last year This year, it’s happening on the 12th July at Botany Downs Secondary College. Registration is at http://bca.geek.nz – it’s free thanks to generous sponsors the BarCamp Auckland team have gotten involved.
BarCamps are an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. They are intense events with discussions, demos and interaction from participants. Basically the attendees ARE the conference.
On the day everyone arrives and registers. Shortly afterwards the topics for the day go up on a board and are split into streams where available. If you have something to talk about – you put your topic on a piece of paper and people interested gather in your space at the alloted time.
There is morning tea and lunch catered. There’ll be Wifi, Twitter screens and other tech/web goodness. Each Barcamper, who meets the t-shirt deadline (just under couple of months away yet) will get a free t-shirt that is designed to be re-worn. And finally, there’ll be software give-aways.
Barcampers from all over NZ (some from Wellington, even as far as Christchurch) who are flying up for the event so don’t think just because you aren’t in Auckland you can’t attend!
