BarCamp Philly

• BarCamp Philly

BarCamp is an open-format conference where the attendees are the presenters. Our subject matter will be directly tied to what ideas people bring to share with the community. Most of the rooms at UArts are equipped with projectors if participants would like to give a slide presentation. Discussion groups, round tables, Q&A, brainstorming together are also options.
A typical day at BarCamp goes something like this…

From 8 to 10am, attendees plan the schedule on a large grid. We’ll have index cards at the ready. Write your session title on the card and choose a room and time slot. We will provide a blank form to enter in all of the sessions that you would like to attend for the day. We will kick off after a brief welcome message from the organizers.

Some of our sessions from last year included:

* OnLine Organizing – tools, methods, secrets, software
* The Internet Sux – unfollowing, cancelling, unfriending, unplugging – a roundtable discussion
* Building Your Community, Sponsors, and Your Brand as a Full Time Job Online
* Learn to Make Cheesy iPhone Apps 101
* Rethinking the .edu
* Quit Your Job! – Pick my brain about going independent
* Intro to JQuery

Sessions will last throughout the day with a break for lunch. Don’t be surprised if you get into some great hallway conversations that take the place of a session. This is a day for learning and socializing, so have a good time and get to know your community!
