BarCampMelbourne

For general release

Victorian tech enthusiasts continue BarCamp tradition

The fourth BarCampMelbourne event, to be held at Urban Camp, in Royal Park, Melbourne on 12th-13th September, is expected to host over 100 technology enthusiasts. The weekend will see dozens of presentations on programming, hardware, business and business processes, web design and other technical topics, in an informal and friendly environment.

Unlike formal conferences, BarCamps are user-driven. Participants themselves generate content, which can be as short as a 5 minute
Lightning Talk, or as long as a two hour workshop. BarCamp events are organised by volunteers using free social networking tools such as Twitter, WordPress, Identi.ca and IRC.

BarCampMelbourne 2009 will be a great way to meet other enthusiasts, learn new skills, share ideas and establish connections.

Registrations for the event are now open: http://barcampmelbourne.org/register-for-barcampmelbourne2009/
