Barcamp Blackpool

This just in:

I wanted to let you know of an event we’re involved in on October 17th in Blackpool. The event is great for professionals in any field, start-ups and freelancers as it will help them network and explore ideas in an open friendly environment.

I love Barcamps, they’re great fun and you get to learn and relax at the same time.

If you’ve never been to Blackpool, take the day out – come up (or down) and enjoy the event! Blackpool is seriously good fun and we guarantee you’ll meet some of the friendliest people in England right here in Lancashire.

Fish and chips, the illuminations, kiss me quick hats, Blackpool Rock, and of course the pleasure beach! It’s like Las Vegas – but without any money, and more chavs ;-)

WHAT IS BARCAMP?

As an “unconference” there are no scheduled speakers or activities. The attendees are the speakers. At the beginning of the day, attendees are invited to take ownership of a session (3 ~30min sessions run at the same time continually through the day) by putting their name and session title in a time and room slot on a whiteboard. Sessions can be anything the attendee wants: a talk, a demo, presentation, a game… absolutely anything and about anything, it doesn’t have to be technical. The Barcamp provides the space and the facilities, the attendees provide the format. Attendees use the whiteboard to decide which talks to attend.
