July 16th and 17th.
IT IS HAPPENING PEOPLE!
BarCampNola is New Orleans’ tech "unconference," an ad-hoc melting pot of minds organized on the fly by attendees, for attendees.
The event is free and open to anyone, but you don’t just attend – you can share your passions and projects: host or participate in discussions, demo your projects, share a presentation, and get collaborative!
ZOMG SO EXCITING!!! BUT WHY??!
So What Is BarCampNola already?
Ok, ok calm down. BarCampNola is a local incarnation of the international network of user generated conferences called BarCamps. BarCampNola is an ad-hoc gathering based on the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees, and it's open so each attendee can easily participate.
BarCampNola brings talented people together in one location to exchange ideas, build connections, launch shared projects or initiatives, and generally assist in realizing the potential of the tech community here in New Orleans. It is both a showcase of our local talent as well as a mechanism to inspire others, and it's free to attend, so why aren't you going already?? Aren't you cool like us? Register up man!
