Barcamp - open, informal IT conference due on April 17-19 in Armenia

Barcamp - open, informal IT conference, will take place at the American University of Armenia on April 17-19, 2009, for first time in Armenia. BarCamp Yerevan will bring together IT specialists, entrepreneurs, students, journalists and bloggers as well as any other groups interested in using technology and Internet in their work.

What is Barcamp?
BarCamp is a new and innovative way to organize and run conferences, particularly on topics related to IT. The philosophy of BarCamp is: all presentations are given by participants themselves, with no formally invited guest speakers. Despite traditional conferences, the schedule of the event is being “produced” by participants of the conference and gets formed only after the conference opens, as participants add the presentations they want to hold on a white board. BarCamps are traditionally produced by volunteers using the philosophy of “peer production”, where a core group of organizers coordinates the volunteer efforts of dozens and often hundreds of volunteers.

BarCamp Yerevan
Tentatively, more then 200 local and international participants are expected to attend the event.

We really hope to see you among the participants of the BarCamp Yerevan.

Sincerely yours,
BarCamp Yerevan Organizing Team
