That’s right, the biggest and best free software event in the UK is back! OggCamp 12 is happening on the 18th & 19th August at the Art & Design Academy in Liverpool. I’m looking forward to going back to Liverpool and the venue this time around sounds absolutely amazing. The tickets are free (again!) and available from the OggCamp website. There are also details of the official hotel, social events and parties on the website.
OggCamp is an unconference, which means the people who come along determine what happens. The event is aimed at anyone with an interest in technology, creating and sharing. It’s a bit chaotic and a bit random but always a lot of fun. Last year there were people juggling with fire, people soldering circuit boards and some 3D printing going on.
There were also a lot of talks, on a range of subjects. As with last year, there will be a scheduled programme of speakers on the main stage and other rooms available for volunteered talks. I don’t know who is on the schedule yet, but I know there’s a lot of effort going in to finding some great speakers.
I’m not involved in organising this year’s event, having decided to concentrate on my wedding photography business, but I know it’s in safe hands with the rest of the team. And I’m going to do my best to be there. Last year, tickets were snapped up very quickly, so get one while you can!
