BarCamp DC #3

BarCamp DC is an ad-hoc unconference (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference) and is part of the larger BarCamp (http://barcamp.org/) movement. Topics are suggested for discussions, but there is no set agenda until everyone gathers. Attendees are required to participate to some degree: either by leading a discussion, showing a demo, or by creating another type of collaborative session. The event can feature discussions, demos, presentations and interaction from participants. Most of the regular attendees of BarCamp are developers/designers/geeks/ and social media minds from the greater DC area. Expected attendance is about 250. The only stipulations from the organizers are:

* Powerpoint is BANNED. That means NO SLIDES. This variable is meant to encourage active conversation rather than passive presentations.
* Sessions must focus on something you're passionate about.
* We've created a Twitter Swear Jar - each time you reference Twitter in a session you will have to contribute $1 as a common donation to the Capital Area Food Bank. Feel free to abuse this rule - one dollar can serve 5 meals!
