Barcamp Liverpool Stylee

This is Liverpool's first ever Barcamp and we're hoping it'll be a Barcamp extravaganza Liverpool style. Liverpool is the European Capital of Culture in 2008, and as the year draws to a close we know that Barcamp Liverpool will attract a diverse, and creative crowd. Liverpool is the home of many tech startups, seed funds, user groups, geek communities, support organisations and creative technology types. The creative industries are thriving and Barcamp Liverpool will be all that! Whilst Barcamp is not themed, we know Barcamp Liverpool will bring out the best of the city's Digital Cultures; showcasing the tech talent on Merseyside.

Barcamp attracts friendly groups of techy types for a weekend of workshops, hackathons, demos, presentations, games and of course the obligatory Wii Tennis tournament! Barcamp attracts a diverse crowd; from ubergeeks to games designers, to bloggers, to investors, to artists. Learn new skills, meet new people, pitch your startup, show and tell your latest invention or project. It's up to you!

What's an unconference... and why "Barcamp"?

An unconference is not like a normal conference. We don't know exactly what'll happen until you all turn up. There's no pre-planned list of speakers, no agenda, and no fees! "The name "BarCamp" is a playful allusion to the event's origins, with reference to the hacker slang term, foobar: BarCamp arose as a spin-off of Foo Camp, More info on the background of unconferences is here via a very old blog post of mine!
