If you're a geek in or around the Charlottesville metroplex or even if you're merely tech-curious, this is the event you don't want to miss. beCamp is Charlottesville's version of the BarCamp unconference phenomenon—organized on the fly by attendees, for attendees. Realizing that the most energizing parts of any tech conference are the ad hoc conversations that take place in the hallways between the sessions, beCamp facilitates these types of interactions for an entire event.
This year we are splitting the locations between CBIC's office Friday evening and using the conference rooms and hallways of the Charlottesville Downtown Library on Saturday. We have two conference rooms that hold up to 35 people and one large ballroom that can hold 100 people.
We provide the venues, the wireless, the projectors, the food, da beer—you show up to teach, learn, and participate.
Each attendee has to talk about something or volunteer (registration, set-up, teardown, etc.). There will be a number of sessions which will be picked by the attendees at the start of the event. For example, if lots of people want to hear about Google's OpenSocial, then that will be on the agenda. If no one wants to hear about HTML5, then it won't be on the agenda.
Think of it as an open-source geek gathering where you get to decide what goes into and what comes out of the event. It's 2 days of creating, collaborating, and conversing with people just as juiced excited about technology as you are.
