SacBarCamp

SacBarCamp, scheduled for April 25-26th, is an informal event where you will network, learn, and share with other Sacramento techies, helping to create a local community for our industry. We want to emphasize the Sacramento region by getting as many local companies and individuals involved. We are expecting to have all types of people – developers, publishers, bloggers, marketers, designers, students, networkers, etc.
In general terms…

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment (open source model). It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees. It is an international network of user generated non-traditional social conferences— open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants.

The idea is that the organizers provide a venue, some projectors and a blank schedule board. The attendees fill in the schedule with activities and presentations and create the actual conference content.
