One month to Barcamp Portugal!

Its now only a month to Barcamp Portugal and things are shaping up! On September 2nd and 3rd, a group of campers (26 at the time writing) will be out discussing technology, innovation and the consumer-created web. If you haven’t signed up for Barcamp Portugal yet, this is the right time to do it: visit the barcamp wiki.

I will be (apart from organizing the event) giving a talk about innovation in a country that still doesn’t support ideas, and coordinating a few workshops – the program is still pretty much being built, as attendees prepare what they’ll be talking about. If you would like to present a project, idea, or just talk to the community, drop your name on the “Speeches and Workshops” section of the wiki.

Sponsorship opportunities

If you or your company want to support the event, please do so. We’re low on needs (after all, this is Barcamp) – but we’d like to accommodate BarCampers with drinks and food for the event. Barcampers (and ourselves, naturally) will be eternally grateful, and you’ll be associated with an event that got the best minds in the country together. So get in touch, and thanks!

If you need help with travelling

If you’re coming from abroad for the event, or need travelling for Barcamp, please contact the organization and we’ll be glad to give you a hand in finding the best deals and routes. In-depth instructions will also be posted on the wiki for those of you who driving. Remember to carpool, and see you soon!
