BarCampKC is back on! Many thanks to the folks at the Cowtown Computer Congress (CCCKC) for offering their space free of charge. To keep cost low, no breakfast or lunch will be served at the space. There are volunteer opportunities to bring breakfast or lunch to share. Please RSVP to show your support for the event. Also check the BarCampKC Wiki page for presentation information and volunteer needs.
We will see you on Saturday!
Again thanks to CCCKC for volunteering their space.

This year is the third annual BarCampKC, the unconference for sharing your passion. Planning took place on and off around Aug. Venue and dates were finally solidified fairly recently. And if some of you might know, the original URL was lost to a squatter.
Venue
BarCampKC will be held on Saturday, Nov 6th at Liberty Square. The event will be split between two Liberty establishments: Crepes on the Square and Las Compas. The morning sessions will be at Las Compas starting at 9:00am. In the afternoon, we will be meeting at Crepes on the Square, which is just across the street from Las Compas. Many thanks to Vince V. for making the arrangements.
Agenda and the Wiki
In the spirit of an unconference, a schedule is rarely created in advance. The finalized presentation schedule is determined the morning of the conference. Instead we ask participants to update the BarCampKC wiki on topics they would like to present or would be interested to hear about. This year we will have four tracks for presentations: mobile media, technology, design and show & tell.
Your involvement
BarCampKC is a user-generated conference. It means the people who attend the event are the same individuals who organize and present at the event. We hope you would come and present. If presentation is a scary concept, be ready to listen to others in the community, ask great questions and check for any requests on the wiki page.
Registration
Tickets are $15 in advance. The cost covers breakfast in the morning and coffee throughout the day. The registration link is at http://barcampkc-2010.eventbrite.com/.

Here is a link to the photo slideshow from last year to give you an idea of what occurred.

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.
