BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees, usually centered around design & technology topics. If you're not familiar with what BarCamp is, we recommend reading the rules. https://barcampgr.org/

Although BarCamp started in Palo Alto, California, in 2005, the event has spread like wildfire across six continents and dozens of BarCamp events are held each year. This website focuses on the BarCamp that is held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Below are details about this year's event.

Who
Anyone can attend BarCamp GR. This event focuses on technology and design, so having an interest in one or more of these topics is strongly encouraged.

When
August 9 & 10
Attendees can bring a sleeping bag and camp out overnight, or they can attend each day separately.

Where
DeVos Communications Center at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. Not familiar with this venue?

Cost
Free! But everyone is encouraged to present something or get involved, even if this is your first time at BarCamp. We're very friendly people.

Schedule
You're free to come and leave as you want. No obligations to stay the whole time, of course

The specific sessions will be determined during BarCamp, all based on who wants to give talks and what topics are of interest.
