We're proud to announce Grand Rapids' fourth BarCamp. BarCamp is a technology & design unconference where the campers (you) determine what's on the schedule.

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to participate.
WHEN: Friday evening, August 21 and Saturday, August 22
WHERE: Calvin College -- DeVos Communications Center
COST: Free! But everyone is encouraged to present something and be involved, even if you're never given a talk before.
WHAT: ??? -- ultimately each camper has an opportunity to help determine the content.
