Registration is now open!

http://barcampsd9.eventbrite.com

We’re playing by the same playbook as last season, since it went over so well.

*** REG CLOSES ONE WEEK BEFORE BARCAMP ***
We have to close reg a week before the event so we have enough time to print the shirts and assemble the badges, so please remember to register before the close of reg to ensure you get your badge and shirt. If you’re fine without a badge or shirt, walk ups are free and not required to register – but the security guards at Intuit will be stopping all walk-ins and getting ID and registering them as guests of Intuit, so it’s in your best interest to register!

Stay tuned for more details as they become available!

We’re also still looking for more sponsorship as well, so if your organization is interested please drop us a line at: sponsors@barcampsd.org

Hello campers!

Here are two PDF files we’ve prepared to help spread the word and get information out about BarCamp this season.

The ‘what is barcamp’ PDF is for anybody who’d like some basic info, and it links folks to this site – it’s for places like inside an elevator or break room.

The ‘sponsor request’ pdf is for any person/business/org/etc that has an interest in sponsoring this time around!

We’re working on a slightly shorter time line this time around, so expect us to be a lot more vocal.

p.s.: Ignore the date in the green graphic at the top of the site, we still need to update that :D

Hello campers!

(every time I say that I nostaliga back to the game starcon2. You oldschool gamers know.)

We’ve heard from Intuit and both BCSD9 AND 10 have been approved! For now we’re going to make BCSD9 happen and leave the planning of 10 for later, but rest assured it’ll be at Intuit!

We’ve dotted our i’s and crossed our t’s and its time now for sponsor roundup! We’ll be working feverishly to churn out some cool one pager documents to help spread the word and show sponsors what kind awesome ROI they get for their investments. If you work for a company that you might think would have some interest in BarCamp here in town, please let us know! email sponsors@barcampsd.org and we’ll be happy to give you all the information we have that is up to date. Until we finish shining that stuff to a mirror polish, heres a post we made a while back describing the sponsor process, its pretty juicy!

Stuff that worked: People *LOVED* the badges. Huge thanks go out to Geo for hooking us up with the folks to make that happen, and we’ll be doing them again. The $10 thing also helped tremendously, so we’ll also be doing that again

This season lets try something new: Everyone think of something thats never been to BarCamp before, and lets bring it to the table! I’m going to try and beg/borrow/steal/coerse/bribe some cool speakers into coming to BarCamp to give talks on neat and interesting things. What will you do?

Got cool ideas? Let us know! Were on twitter as @barcampsd and you can always email us at sponsors@barcampsd.org!

Stay tuned for all the juicy infoz!
