So its that time again!!! Time for another BarCamp here in KC. The 2009 edition will take place at the JavaPort on Sept 26th from 9am to 5pm. Now maybe you are like what the heck is a barcamp anyways well here is a little info for you to digest:
BarCampKC is a user generated conference in Kansas City that’s focused on innovative technology, blogging, and business projects local to the area. “User generated” means the people who attend BarCampKC are the same people organizing and presenting at the conference. In other words we hope that if you come to BarCampKC you’ll also present something (“run a session”). If not, just be ready to listen to other presenters, contribute to their content, and ask a lot of questions. For more info check out this Wikipedia entry BarCampKC isn’t about sponsorship by any single company, headhunters trying to recruit you, charlatans trying to sell you something, or lecturers showing you how to do your day job more efficiently. BarCampKC is about presenting on the projects you’re passionate about, involving your friends and colleagues, getting inspired by others, and meeting some talented and creative folks you’d likely not run into otherwise.
