BarCamp is an un-conference; An open format event where programmers, designers and business owners can network and learn.
A BarCamp conference is unlike any other technology conference. Rather than being planned by a committee in advance, each community works together to create its own event. A BarCamp generally has an underlying theme, but the individual topics and sessions are organized shortly before or even at the event. This enables BarCamp to be much more than targeted to the needs of the Madison community.
Hundreds of BarCamp events have been held in cities around the world. Madison and Milwaukee’s BarCamp events attracted over 130 people each and the attention of Wisconsin media.
