Barcamps are informal sessions, a kind of "un-conference", with a schedule decided on the day.
Barcamps are informal sessions, a kind of "un-conference", with a schedule decided on the day. It is all driven by the interests and expertise of those who attend so each one is different, but ours are always great!
Although the barcamp doesn't have a strict schedule, it won't be completely devoid of structure! #bbuzz barcamps are dynamic events, focused on the overall Berlin Buzzwords topics, tackling the same challenges but in a different format. At the barcamp each session runs for 30 minutes giving enough time to get into the meat of a topic, but without a chance of anyone getting bored. These are participatory sessions and more inclusive than regular conference talks, with everyone taking part. You can help by leading the session, by giving some insights, by asking some great questions, or maybe just with your enthusiasm.
The barcamp will be coordinated and moderated by Nick Burch.
Registration starts from 2:30pm
