How it works

Planned by the people who show up

Friday night: socialize over food & drink, pitch topics, vote. Saturday: volunteers arrange the schedule; you choose your own path through the day. You don't need to be an expert to suggest a topic.

Common questions

How much does beCamp cost?+
Nothing. beCamp is completely free, including the food, thanks to our generous sponsors.
Can I attend just one day?+
You can, but come both days if you're able. If you're attending Saturday's sessions, we ask that you also come to Friday's Pitch Night.
How are topics decided?+
Anyone can pitch a topic at Friday's Pitch Night. Attendees vote, and volunteers arrange the winners into Saturday's schedule that same evening.
Are there rules?+
Just be kind, be curious, and treat everyone with respect. The full Code of Conduct is linked in the footer.
