Barcamp-style sessions

The Barcamp-style sessions provide 84 opportunities for you share your experiences and learn directly from other members of the community. These can be in the form of a talk or presentation, a round table discussion or anything else you think other participants will be interested in doing for around 20 minutes. There will be participants from most of the big web businesses including Twitter, the Guardian and Yahoo, PayPal and all sorts of other people too. Sessions will be allocated on a first come first serve basis on the Saturday morning, everyone should try to contribute something to making the event great!

Hackday

The overnight hack will provide you with an opportunity to work with people you don't normally get to work with, applying some of the things you learnt during the day’s sessions with the experts on hand to ask questions of. Some sponsors will be setting challenges and may also present awards to the best hacks in different categories.

Who's involved?

This event has been organised independently of Twitter by a group of individuals experienced in organising events for the technology community such as BarCamp, DevNest and TweetCamp including: @jot, @kalv, @nuxnix, @farhan, @iamdanw, @tommorris
