April 2009 Schedule

Below is a tentative schedule for our unconference program. You create the event and there will be a big board in  for you to claim a slot for your presentation. There is internet access and displays in every room.

Is there a topic no one’s covering that you’d love to discuss? Give a workshop! Decide a talk isn’t for you? Leave and check out another one going on at the same time! The best presentations are often nothing more than someone sharing their passion, so don’t worry if inspiration strikes you at the Dev Camp but you haven’t prepared a massive slide deck, just throw a session up on the board!

Slots will be 30 minutes with 15 minute breaks between them to check the board and find the next one you want to attend. If you’re a presenter and need more time, you’re welcome to grab 2 slots and we will have 6 rooms for people to run sessions  simultaneously so there shouldn’t be any competition for rooms.

10.45 Introduction
11.00 Slot 1
11.45 Slot 2
12.30 Lunch
2.00 Slot 3
