What do you want to hear about? Or talk about?

BarCamp is a conference with a difference.

At BarCamp, anyone can present. Presenting is actively encouraged. Talks can be as short or as long as you like. We've scheduled to accommodate 45 min. presentations, to occur concurrently in up to as many as 3 rooms at a time. You can use slides, a web connection, or go commando. Talks can be technical or non-technical.

The BarCamp ethos is about sharing information. There is no overriding theme to the conference. If you would like to talk at BarCampSaskatoon2008 sign-up below now or sign-up on the day. The password is c4mp.
