Barcamp 2 Coming Soon

Barcamp Sheffield 2007 has been and gone. Where were you?

Thank you to everyone who came to Barcamp Sheffield. I think we can definitely say that it was a success and we all had fun and went home learning something new (even if it was understanding just how much beer you can actually ingest!).

    Event Details (history)

    Why?
    The Internet is currently going through an exciting time. Web 2.0, OpenID, Social Networking etc.. The UK is at the forefront of a lot of this innovation. The North of England is full of enterprising and innovative individuals / businesses but we have to travel to London to talk to kindred spirits. Not any more!

    We want BarCampSheffield to showcase the best that the UK has to offer. We want to share knowledge, experience and techniques. If you have a great idea, have developed a great Web App / Mashup or are simply interested in finding out what everyone else in the market is doing then come along. Everyone is Welcome!

    To make things interesting we have secured a £1000 award for the best / most innovative web application / mashup by a UK developer(s). All you have to do is come to Sheffield and demonstrate it. Our sponsors are also keen to help you get your application / mashup out into the public.
