Event Details

 

Freelance Camp Sacramento 2009 is the first BarCamp for freelancers and independent contractors in our state capital. We are proud to host this in the heart of Midtown, Sacramento.  You ask: What is a BarCamp? BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The day consists of sessions proposed by attendees and the schedule is created on site the morning of the event. BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn from each other in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.


WHAT TO EXPECT AT FREELANCE CAMP:

The day will start at 8 a.m. with an hour of socializing over coffee and pastries. It is really important that you arrive by 9 a.m. so you can participate in creating the day’s agenda. At 9 a.m. sharp we will give directions on how to propose a topic and then we will create a schedule. We will be harvesting the minds and expertise of all the people in the room to come up with topics pertinent to freelancers. If you’d like to lead a session you’re going to want to speak up with your topic idea at 9 a.m., when the schedule is being created.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Freelancers
  • Programmers
  • Writers/Authors/Editors
  • Photographers
  • Creative/Graphic Designers
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Telecommuters
  • Small Business Owners
  • Startups
  • Anyone who wants to escape the 9-5 cubicle world

Really, its for anyone!

 


SPONSORSHIP:

The event is sponsored by The Urban Hive, Cassia Communications, Sacramento Marketing Labs, Write by the Lake and Jealousy Catering, but as our resources are limited (we fit into many of the aforementioned categories of business startups and freelancers), we are currently accepting sponsors so if you would like to be an official sponsor for Freelance Camp Sacramento, please contact us. We are looking for sponsors to donate time, services, or products so please contact us is you have an idea! We'd also gladly accept a monetary contribution! (FYI, the $25 includes two meals, so we are simply covering costs -- this is a not-for-profit event!)


WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:

  • Your own coffee mug
  • A head full of topic ideas
  • Your laptop (free wi-fi provided.) If you are not so inclined to arrive with electronic note-taking items a simple notebook and pen will do.
  • Lots of business cards. This is a great networking opportunity. You can get a quick turnaround from Zazzle.com if you are in need of cards.
