It was only a short 10 months ago that the inaugural Democamp Vancouver began and in early April “the island” will be hosting the first Democamp Victoria 01. It is a perfect opportunity for those in Vancouver and even Seattle to travel to Victoria to find out more about the tech scene there. You could carpool and spend the night in a cool B&B waking up to the fresh morning island air.

The Details – The Idea is your Demo

Your concept or idea should be developed enough to support a three minute presentation, but it is not necessary to have a working model to “demo” … it’s the idea that’s important! There are three minutes for delivery and three minutes for discussion (or 6 minutes to use however you see fit…previous attendees highly recommend time for interaction, questions, etc.). The time limit is strict so if you take two and a half minutes to setup your laptop, you only get thirty seconds to present (the gong hath no mercy).

Signing up to Present

Just show up with an idea, write it on the board, and get voted on to be one of the “main” presentations. Every presenter gives a 30 second elevator pitch before voting happens. Attendees vote and the 4 presentations with the most votes get a 6 minute slot.

You can read more info on the Barcamp Victoria page.

When: April 3rd, 2008, from 5:30pm-7:30pm

Where: 834 Johnson St. (Juliet Living Demo Space, a.k.a. the OLD peacock billiards place) [map]
