From April 22nd to April 24th there will be a big Barcamp in Graz at the FH Joanneum that you shouldn’t miss. For everyone who has never been to a Barcamp, I thought I would write a little explanation about it:
What is a Barcamp?
Barcamps describe themselves as an “ad-hoc non-conference”. The exciting thing about it is that you submit topics in advance and the “conference” program is created the morning before the start, practically on the fly, depending on demand for the topic. You basically vote on which topics would be most interesting for the majority and then the rooms are allocated for these sessions, which usually last 45 minutes. Barcamps are actually always free (as far as I know) and are a great way to get to know people who are interested in the same topics as you.
The following broad topic areas will be covered at Barcamp Graz 2016:
In the tag cloud (as of April 9, 2016) you can also see which topics have been submitted so far and what is most in demand:
I also found a nice explanation video from 2013:
