BarCamp Cape Town June 2006
Cape Town techies, geeks and media fundies unite as the first BarCamp hits Cape Town next month. I will be joining the local techies and geeks 
at our very own informal conference in June organised by Conrad Strydom. The venue is still to be confirmed, but the dates are set for the 15th and 16th of June.
This event has already received much noise on the local Blogosphere and today was featured on Tectonic.
The great thing about this conference is that anyone is welcome to attend and well, it’s free! The parties thus far attending are all well known within their respective spheres. According to Tectonic about 45 people have confirmed attendance so far.
Some of the attendees may be viewed on the official BarCamp Cape Town website. Â
I could very much relate to Mark Forrester’s comment: “It’s quite daunting knowing there will be so many skilled and knowledgeable techies/geeks under one roof, but what a place to learn more about the ever-growing, ever-developing creative community!â€
Add to this the great networking potential.
This could very well grow into a winner for South Africa.
Get your shortlists ready and be sure to chat with me at the BarCamp if you’re Cape Town.
