Barcamp
During lunch we will host a barcamp. This means you have the opportunity to literally stand on stage, with a microphone in your hand, maybe a slide or 2 and (at most) 5 minutes to pitch whatever you are passionate about.
We have some goodies and give aways for those who take up on this challenge. If you are interested in pitching at the barcamp please send us an e-mail with your barcamp topic and slides (if necessary) and we'll queue you up!
