BarCampTorontoTechWeek (aka BarCampToronto4) is happening on Saturday, May 26. With Toronto Tech Week starting on Monday, May 28, it made perfect sense to host another BarCamp to bring out the community. BarCampTTW is not listed in the official list of Toronto Tech Week events.
Toronto Technology Week is an initiative of ICT Toronto to host a week long series of events to celebrate technology in the Toronto region. Toronto is the largest high-tech hub in Canada and the third largest in North America. This week is packed with events including mesh conference, an Enterprise 2.0 Conference, InteractionCamp and Canadian New Media Awards. As citizens of this community, we should (and will) hold another BarCamp.
Rather than writing up the details, Mark does a great job explaining:
If you've never attended an unconference before, you really need to try it. (Hint: DemoCamp IS NOT a BarCamp) Once you've had an unconference, your expectations for what a conference should be will never be the same. Participants only. Bring a presentation you want to share, or sometimes participation means active listening, engaging presenters, bringing a question you want to explore or an intention to meet some like-minded folk. It's about sharing and learning in an open creative environment.
