2012 Spring Conference

2012 Spring Conference Announced!

Save the date!  Our Spring Conference Event will be held on Saturday and Sunday – May 5th and 6th, 2012, at G.WIZ in Sarasota.  We will also be partnering with the Suncoast Technology Forum for a Business Expo on Friday, May 4th. Click here for booth/vendor information.

What is the Conference Event?

 BarCamp is an open-format conference where everyone is welcome to speak on any topic they’re passionate about. Note that sessions aren’t scheduled in advance, the agenda is created the day of the event in the spirit of an “unconference.” If you don’t want to present a topic alone, there are a number of panels you can join, or you can start a panel discussion of your own. BarCamp Sarasota is a conversation, please join in!

BarCamp Sarasota’s conference events are FREE* and OPEN TO EVERYONE with the desire to learn in an open, engaging environment. We operate in an open forum format where attendees are encouraged to be active participants and share their ideas. Let your interests guide you! Bring your ideas to share, whether by signing up to discuss an area of expertise, demonstrating your project, becoming part of a panel discussion, or taking part in engaging conversations with other like-minded people.

Topics from previous conferences have included: business development, entrepreneurship and start-ups, technology and innovation from new media, green technology, software/mobile applications, marketing, science-fiction, inventions and gadgets, community and economic development, robotics, art, and much more.

* FREE registration is available for those who register in advance. If you register at the conference there is a $10 entrance fee payable to G.WIZ Science Museum.  Registration for the Spring 2012 conference will be open soon.
