Okay, so I was talking to Chris Lee while setting up the network today and we started talking about customers. The customers that have the best of intentions to be fiscally responsible, but ultimately fall short of that goal by cutting corners. If you have worked in IT, you have had at least one of these customers…
In tradition of BarCamp, we’ve set aside an entire room that is empty for the entire day for folks to sign up day of and speak. ThisCamp will be available for speaker signup in 25 minute increments starting at 9:15 until the last session at 3:15. When you arrive at the event, come all the way down to the end of the hall to the cafe area where you can sign up on a card and stick your session on the board at your preferred time. Want to talk about something that isn’t yet being covered on the schedule? This would be the perfect opportunity for you to do so.
Also, one final note before the event happens tomorrow. Don’t come in the Sommet Center through the normal doors! You’ll want to enter up towards the 6th Avenue side through the doors next to (to the right) the police precinct. I’m attaching a photo below of the doors to enter through. Once you come in, proceed down the elevator or stairs and registration will be there to greet you. Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

PLEASE CHECK BACK HERE OFTEN AS THIS IS LIKELY TO CHANGE AS WE TWEEK THINGS IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS!
OK everyone!! The schedule has been mapped!!! Be sure to let us know if you see any major issues or typos. We will have something a bit more interactive in the next 24 hours for everyone to review!!
Note that there are several open session blocks in ThisCamp - This will be scheduled the traditional BarCamp method of sign-up the day you attend. We will have a board with index cards and sharpies!
