Do you get bored out of existence attending run-of-the-mill events? Are you tired of being herded in and out of auditoriums like an over-dressed schoolchild? Have you had it up to here with sales pitches when all you are looking for is genuine information? Has a speaker at a traditional conference ever said something that made you want to ask a crucial question right away, and not 45 minutes later? Are you ever so slightly annoyed at the jumping through hoops required three months in advance just to speak at an event?<\/p>\n<p>If the answers to the above are yes, BarCamp is just what you need. BarCamp is an unstructured, inexpensive, down-to-earth gathering of technologists who get together to share and learn. I said &#8220;inexpensive&#8221;, but in fact it&#8217;s completely free of charge. And if you consider that you get free food and drink, and a chance to win prizes, it&#8217;s almost as if BarCamp were paying <em>you <\/em>to attend.<\/p>\n<p>Without further ado, here are the BarCamp rules and relevant details.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.outblaze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/barcamp-rules.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-166\" title=\"barcamp-rules\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.outblaze.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/barcamp-rules.jpg?w=101\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/barcamp.hk\/\" target=\"_blank\">BarCamp Hong Kong web site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/barcamp.org\/BarCampHongKong\" target=\"_blank\">BarCamp Hong Kong Wiki<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=6146785447\" target=\"_blank\">BarCamp Hong Kong FaceBook page<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Location of current event: Turner International Asia Pacific Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>Address: 30\/F, Oxford House, Taikoo Place, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Come, speak and learn at BarCamp Hong Kong!
