Definition

A 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. Anyone can attend, participate, and present. To learn more, go to barcamp.org. This is a non-profit event: Attending is free of charge. Watch this video to understand what BarCamp is about.

We're expecting 50-150 attendees from the neighbouring area and hopefully the rest of Switzerland and Europe. The segment of people will likely be skewed towards the tech crowd. But everybody is invited to participate.

First BarCamp Lausanne took place the 29th of September at EPFL, Lausanne. After it's success we are proud to launch Bar Camp Lausanne 2. If you want to read more about the first event, please have a look at BarCampLausanne

Un Agenda

REMINDER: BarCamp content is made by you. Since BarCamps are built around internet and related technologies we shall have some sessions about: Web2, Web3, Internet (tech and social), Flex, SilverLight, computer science, mobile phones, etc. but feel free to propose a discussion like "does my cactus have a soul or a spirit ?" (hmmm ... I wouldn't like to be the one who prepares the slides for this one).

You can either propose a session you would like to lead, or topics you would like to hear about (someone might later choose to lead the discussion for you or integrate it in his proposed session)

You are free to present in any language you want. English, German, Swiss German, French, Italian Take your pick. Make your title explicit on that. Choisissez un titre qui indique la langue que vous souhaitez utiliser. Sceglietevi un titolo che indichi chiaramente la lingua che utilizzerete.

Also, go for discussions. We're not looking for a long series of keynotes accompanied by polished PowerPoint slides (though that's a possible option, of course). Have some experience to share? Done something you'd like to talk or discuss about? Got a topic you'd like to think about with a bunch of interesting people? You're ready to host a session.

Schedule & Programm

Session Program will be made on the spot, the same day. We will arrange a board, paper and pen available for registering sessions. Please do not hold back from announcing proposed sessions: this will motivate people to come and make the event worth to attend.

Since many people are asking for it, please see here for the detailed schedule and a proposed planning

Participants

Enter your name here if you're interesting in speaking, organizing, helping out, or just attending. We'll hand out badges at the reception desk.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Are there rules?
- This is Switzerland, there are rules for everything! My very own grandmother will ensure that common decency is upheld at all times. No, just kidding, see TheRulesOfBarCamp for the 'rules'.

Can I help out?
- Yes of course! We need help in organizing the event (finding a venue, sponsors, and good speakers). At the conference, we'll need people who handle registrations, questions, and guard the T-Shirts. Enter your name under 'Participants'. Also, add your e-mail to the list so we have your e-mail addresses.

Can I present?
- Of course! Enter your name in the 'unAgenda'. Drop us a line if you have questions.

Can I present in German? What about Schwyzerdütsch? English? French?
- Anything is fine. Please note your language choice in the unagenda.

What can I speak about?
- Anything! The spirit of BarCamp is that you're free to choose your topic, your language, and presentation style. We're a bit skewed towards the hacker / tech crowd. So far, we've had people ask us whether they can talk about their Web Hacks or the effects of caffeine on humans - of course they can!

Do I have to bring in my own OHP, Beamer, Flipchart,...?
- No, we will have projectors, flipcharts and power supplies. All you have to bring is fun, and optionally your laptop, and your video camera, if you like.
