At BarCampPerth 2.0 stepped up again and presented. This time I wanted to push things a little, well a lot. I didn’t want the standard presentation. What I wanted was something entertaining with a defined takeaway message.
Now I really wanted to focus on an introduction to User Experience. But that can be a very dry and lets be honest, boring topic.
So I opted for a thematic talk following an information journey. The slides are on slideshare. There was a video recorded, so we shall see if it is encoded, if it is, it may give you a better insight than the transcript and slide set.
BarCamp Perth and PodCamp Perth were both a great success. Since then slowly but surely the BarCamp gnomes have been working away under the cover of darkness. So finally we can now can unveil:
BarCamp Perth 2.0.
Yes the BarCamp with all the rounded corners, gradients, starbursts, mirror shadows, and enlarged fonts you’ll ever need!
When: Saturday May 10 2008 9am to 5pm.
Where: Central TAFE, 140 Royal St, East Perth WA 6004
Cost: Free
So go on get cracking, go signup for BarCamp Perth 2.0 you know you want to attend, remember it’s free to all participants.
It’s an interesting point you want to organise a professional event; do you go with the traditional conference / seminar format or the more relaxed popular unconference (aka barcamp).
Well having attended and been involved with organisational aspects of both it is clear they have their places. There are a number of points that you have to consider before committing to one over the other.
Organisation
- Unconference – It’s very relaxed, informal, embrace it, attendees control the proceedings.
- Conference – Very formal. The attendees will have little if any say in proceedings.
