About

A one day BarCamp in Richmond, London for anyone involved or interested in user experience design, interaction design, information architecture or usability.

For anyone unfamiliar with the BarCamp model, it’s a grass-roots ‘unconference’ born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. All attendees give a talk, demo or some kind of session, and all are treated equally. No headliners, no product pitches, just a friendly (if intense) event focused on sharing and socialising as well as learning new stuff. Paraphasing The Rules Of Barcamp:

  • You do talk about BarCamp.
  • You do blog about BarCamp.
  • No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists.
  • Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.
  • If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Actually, this applies whether it’s your first or tenth BarCamp. All attendees present. It’s part of the fun.)

Tickets will be available on Wed 15 July at 11am, via http://uxcamplondon.eventbrite.com

    What’s going on here? This will be my first BarCamp and though I really want to present something cool and useful, I could also use some inspiration. Otherwise I’m scared I’ll just talk about the main issues we face at my workplace and how we go about solving problems. Would that be boring for others? Or is that the whole point???

    Hi Mark – that sounds perfect. Anything you want to talk about is fair game. Some people are going for really lofty stuff, some are going for very practical day-to-day stuff. Your call. There’ll be a good mix of experienced and newer people so don’t worry.
