Yay! We have a spot lined up, the date is April 3rd. There is limited seating so sign up as soon as you can. A wait list will be made after we’re set – Add your name to here if you want to attend or become a presenter!

So it’s been pretty crazy trying to find a spot downtown – most places have been asking for a lot of $ to rent, flat out “not interested”, or they can’t accommodate enough people (5-10ppl). A lot of businesses seem to concern themselves with things getting stolen/damaged etc. I can see where they’re coming from – yet it’s still frustrating; Victorian businesses should eager to provide venues such as this. It goes towards being more community involved, it’s cheap advertising, it’s being representative of what Victoria is trying to sell itself as – a friendly proactive medium sized town… not to mention, it’s democamp you’re supporting! It makes me want to setup a biz to solely support venues like this!

On the presentation front – lots of interest, a lot of hesitation… there’s nothing to hesitate about people.. it’s new, exciting, and a forum to get some feedback! Remember, even if you’re just in idea phase and can carry on a 3-4 minute conversation about it.. you’re in!

DemoCampVictoria Chapter.

I had this idea to bring people together in my town to spice things up a bit – and I found DemoCampVancouver! A few weeks back I decided to go check these guys out and I was pleasantly surprised! It was very cool and I had blogged about it a while back.

Once I saw how interesting their event was I decided to start a chapter in Victoria. I want to bring people together from all different types of industry to make new relationships, new business ideas, new innovation and new everything! It’s time to showcase what Victoria has with respect to tech.

I need to organize space, times, some presenters.. There is lots to be done – If you have an idea you want to share or just want to check out what’s happening in Victoria, come join the group! I’ve set it up on facebook and barcamp so add your name! I will have dates/spaces and all that to figure out in the next few weeks but I will be updating the wiki and group appropriately. Hope to see you there!
