BarCamp San Diego 6

What

BarCamp San Diego is an unconference made up of of technical professionals, Internet enthusiasts, and other clever people in the Southern California area who wish to share and learn in an open environment.

Attendees don't just watch a set list of speakers. They give their own talks. Podcasting. Web standards. Microformats. Gum stick computers. Physical security. Robotics. Evolutionary algorithms. It can be anything. One of the best barcamp presentations ever given was about sandwiches. Barcamp is what you make of it.

When

January 16th and 17th, 2010

10am Saturday through 6pm Sunday.

Where

Intuits 'Santa Fe' campus map

7545 Torrey Santa Fe Road, San Diego Ca 92129
