  convention

• Consider entirely new sessions on the
  back of discussions at barcamp
Step 5:
Don’t Be Afraid
Don’t Be Afraid
    (to leave a session)

• Not every session is for every one -
  multiple trakcs

• Engage with the group before you leave
• Find another session!
Step 6:
Make Few Plans
Make Few Plans


• Anything can happen at barcamp. No,
  really!

• Opportunities to socialise outside
  barcamp, or perhaps share a ride

• If you make plans, you will miss out!
Step 7:

  your work

• Collect those business cards
• Add people to your gmail account, and
  import to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter,
  Flickr, Upcoming, Dopplr etc.

• If your really keen, do it on the way
  home, but whatever you do, don’t wait!
Step 9:
Have Fun!
Have Fun

• Really! Barcamp is not just about
  networking and learning

• Fun with likeminded people
• Play werewolf, uncricket, buzzword
  bingo, etc.

• Take your eyes away from the screen
Step 10:
Organise Your Own
    Barcamp
Organise Your Own
        Barcamp

• Most important step of all
• Give back to the community, locally or
  for a specialist topic

• Don’t worry about it, just do it!
