BarCampCHS

Fall 2014? in Charleston SC

BarCampCHS is the ad-hoc, user generated fUN-conference where attendees determine what will be presented. Sessions, discussions, demos, and interaction occur from everyone attending, not a pre-selected panel of speakers. BarCampCHS provides local area techies, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and more with an open environment for learning and sharing.

Keep an eye out for the Blue Ion crew either speaking, attending or sponsoring at all of these events.
