Calling all grass-roots geeks, creative visionaries, innovative entrepreneurs and talented technologists

I’m not sure anyone would choose to give themselves any of those titles, but if you are (take a deep breath) a developer, designer, creative, educationalist, technologist, blogger, student, entrepreneur, writer, artist, academic, geek, marketeer, investor or gamer then you should get yourself down to BarCamp Sheffield 2.1: the Joy of Techs later this month.

As explained on the BarCamp Sheffield website, a BarCamp event is an ‘unconference’ that typically takes place over a weekend. The focus is technology in its widest possible sense, and usually features demonstrations, workshops and seminars which attendees are encouraged to run themselves with the intention of maximising knowledge-sharing and learning.

It has grown out of the monthly GeekUp Sheffield events (which also come highly recommended) and takes place at the Showroom cinema cafe bar from 28-30 November. If you can’t commit to the whole weekend then you can drop in just for one of the sessions.

And whether you can attend or not, if you are on Twitter then make sure you follow @barcampsheff to keep up to date with goings-on.
