Schedule

BarCamp Charlotte is a community driven event and the topics presented are the topics you vote on. It's pretty democratic.

Friday, October 21st

6:30pm - 9:00pm
Venue Prep

Our volunteers will come together and get Area 15 prepped for all the goodness of BarCamp. If you'd like to volunteer let us know or you can just show up. We won't mind.

Saturday, October 22nd

  • 9:00am - 9:15am
    Coffee & Varied Breakfast Goodies
    Get here a bit early, meet your fellow BarCampers and grab a bite to eat before the pitches start. If you're planning on pitching, take a few minutes to fine-tune what you'll say. You only have 30 seconds to pitch.
  • 9:15am - 9:45am
    Morning Pitches & Voting for Sessions
    Here at BarCamp Charlotte we keep things pretty democratic. You decide what each session is about. Those that want to pitch a topic, an idea or a conversation have 30 seconds to pitch to the crowd and convince your fellow BarCampers that your session will melt their faces off. Once all the pitches have been made the BarCampers will vote and the top pitches will be assigned sessions.
