Freelance Camp 3, Santa Cruz is the third organized BarCamp for freelancers and independent contractors. We are proud to host this in beautiful, innovative Santa Cruz, CA. You ask:What is a BarCamp? BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. Th day consists of sessions proposed by attendees and the schedule is created on site the morning of the event. BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn from each other in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT FREELANCE CAMP:
The day will start at 8am with an hour of socializing over coffee and pastries. We will be handing out free t-shirts to the
rst 150 registrants at the sign up. We have 150 shirts and 350 sign ups so come early! It is really important you arrive by 9am so you can participate in creating the days agenda. At 9am sharp we will give directions on how to propose a topic and then we will create a schedule. We will be harvesting the minds and expertise of all the people in the room to come up with topics pertinent to freelancers. If youd like to lead a session youre going to want to speak up with your topic idea at 9am, when the schedule is being created.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:

Your own coffee mug
A beverage holding container for your days h2O (cup, water bottle, etc...) We will provide a water cooler full of refreshing cool spring water for you to fill your own drinking device.
A head full of topic ideas
Your laptop (free wi-fi provided.) If you are not so inclined to arrive with electronic note-taking items a simple notebook and pen will do.
Lots of business cards. This is a great networking opportunity. You can get a quick turnaround from Zazzle.com if you are in need of cards.



Organized by A bunch of Geeks
