What is BarCamp?
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees, usually centered around design & technology topics.
About BarCamp
Although BarCamp started in Palo Alto, California, in 2005, the event has spread like wildfire across six continents and dozens of BarCamp events are held each year. This website focuses on the BarCamp that is held in Kuwait. Below are details about this year’s event.
Who? Anyone can attend BarCamp Kuwait. This event focuses on technology and design, so having an interest in one or more of these topics is strongly encouraged.
When? April 2, 2011 from 4pm to 8pm followed by dinner
Where? Mövenpick Hotel & Resort Al Bida’a
Cost? Free! But everyone is encouraged to present something or get involved, even if this is your first time at BarCamp. We’re very friendly people.
Schedule
You’re free to come and leave as you want. No obligations to stay the whole time, of course. The specific sessions will be determined during BarCamp, all based on who wants to give talks and what topics are of interest.

Sponsoring BarCamp Kuwait
All sponsors will have their logo featured on the BarCamp Kuwait website, will be given space to put up publicity at the BarCamp and have the opportunity of handing out schwag in our goody bag.
BarCamp attendees come from all walks from life and ages 8-80, what they have in common is a passion for stimulating conversations and expanding their own knowledge. They love to give back to the community and a BarCamp is the perfect place to do this. BarCamp attendees are not only the great thinkers of today, but the great thinkers of tomorrow. They are excited by the diversity of discussion and the insights that are achieved in the intellectual melting pot that is BarCamp. Barcamp is an excellent opportunity to be involved in innovations that shape the creative landscape of Kuwait.
The BarCamp Kuwait Planning Team are looking for sponsors to make the first BarCamp Kuwait possible. There are all sorts of expenses that we need covering, and without your help, BarCamp Kuwait would be impossible. If you are interested in sponsoring BarCamp Kuwait, email us!
