BarCamp #18

It's that time of year again! Come along to the 18th Gold Coast Barcamp.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend Barcamps. They are fun, social, as informal as we can make them, educational in many ways; and you get to be a participant in it, perhaps helping keep it a notch away from anarchy, and leading or participating in the discussion sessions that arise.

The next Barcamp is at TechSpace in Mudgeeraba Please RSVP here or on the meetup group https://www.meetup.com/barcamp.... The event is free to attend for everyone.

What is Barcamp?

An informal conference. Self organised short presentations or hands on workshops spread across a number of rooms through out the day.
