After a very successful BarCamp in 2007, the Australian Web Industry Association are hosting BarCamp2 next month.
The Perth BarCamp2 website describes the event as:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment.
You can find out more at the Perth Barcamp2 website but the important stuff is:
- When: Saturday May 10, 2008 from 9am to 5pm
- Where: E-Central TAFE, 140 Royal Street, East Perth
The event is free for all participants thanks to the generosity of sponsors. You can purchase t-shirts leading up to and on the day from the website for just $10.
Hope to see you there!
