BarCamp

In northern California next weekend? Come join us at SacBarCamp April 25th and 26th in downtown Sacramento. SacBarCamp is an informal event where you will network, learn, and share with other Sacramento techies, helping to create a local community for our industry. The organizers are trying to emphasize the Sacramento region by getting as many local companies and individuals involved.

What’s BarCamp? It’s a conference where the participants are the speakers. Show up, sign up to give a session, and get going. There’s lots of networking, food, great conversations, and you’ll even learn a thing or two. For more information, see the BarCamp web site. I also described the first Sacramento BarCamp in a radio interview a few years ago.
