# BarCamp Vancouver set to launch

The unconference I’m helping organize, (http://barcamp.org/BarCampVancouver), is set to run from 6 pm this Friday, August 25th, to 6 pm, this Saturday, August 26th. It’ll be 24 hours of full-on geeking out. We’ve capped (http://barcamp.org/BarCampVancouverRegistry), expanded from our original 90, so lots of folks are keen to participate.

And participate they will.

**BarCamp Vancouver Costs and T-Shirts**

Technically speaking, BarCamp Vancouver is free. However, we’ve built (http://barcamp.org/BarCampVancouverPlanning), so we’ll be asking you to ante up a donation of $20 to support the event. For your $20 you’ll get a copy of the coveted (http://tinyurl.com/osh68) (PDF of the design, 644K).

**BarCamp Vancouver Schedule**

The schedule, such as it is, looks like this:

Friday, August 25, 6:00pm: BarCamp opens. We’ll do registration and a rooftop barbeque. I’ll be grilling and handing out beers sponsored by our very own (http://www.adhack.com). The venue is overlooking the harbour, the rooftop of the new (http://www.bryght.com) / (http://www.nowpublic.com) offices, 1 Alexander Street.

Saturday, August 26, 8:30am: BarCamp events open with a continental breakfast at (http://www.abetterplacetowork.com). Registration will be available and then we’ll get to sorting out the scheduling for the day. Sessions are planned to begin at 10am and will go all day. At 6pm we’ll shift from unconferencing to socializing (difference?).

**BarCamp Vancouver Locations**

Friday night barbecue at the Bryght offices, Suite 400 – 1 Alexander Street. Enter off Carall Street. ((http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1+alexander+vancouver))
