beCamp June 15-16
This is the conference you’ve been waiting for: beCamp is happening this June 15-16, from 5PM on Friday to 9PM on Saturday—non-stop! It’s 24+ straight hours of coding, collaborating, and conversing with people just as juiced about technology as you are. And the venue couldn’t be more perfect for such mayhem: the Fry’s Spring Beach Club!
beCamp is Charlottesville’s BarCamp-based unconference where the participants actually organize and create the conference. Think of it as an open-source geek gathering where you get to decide what goes into and what comes out of the event. Said one of our beTech colleagues and a two-time FooCamp alumn, “…we need at least 2 days of 24/7 tech talks, caffeine, robots, and heavy-duty geeks that can hang all night long!” We setup a beCamp wiki for you to register as a camper and, better yet, help enroll sponsors, propose sessions, etc.
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. Reserve the dates on your calendar (e.g., Upcoming), register on our wiki, and take a closer look at what “camping” is all about:
