WHERE?

UNICEF, 3 United Nations Plaza -- 44th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues. New York, NY 10017

 

 

WHAT? 

As you know, bar camps are entirely participant-driven.  You run and participate in sessions, showcase your mobile apps, inquire, discuss, and engage. There are no tourists at this Open Mobile Camp!

 

If you have apps you'd like to showcase, please bring them -- we have spaces for hands-on demos of applications.

We would love to hear about some of the CHALLENGES you want to see addressed. Read below for how!

 

There will also be interactive workshops, discussion groups, and lots of ideas and interactions with a passionate and knowledgeable community of you all. If you want to discuss a topic, you will have the chance to do so, so please be prepared. If you are interested in leading a discussion or workshop, here is what we ask:  Have a short introduction of the topic you are interested in ready, as well as two or three key questions you awnt to explore in the conversation. You do not have to be an expert at all in the topic you are curioous about -- sessions can be exploratory with your questions and ideas rather than a polished presentation!

 

ADD a CHALLENGE!

As part of the day, we would like to address some specific challenges in some of the sessions and design jams.  You can see a list that we came up with here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tnIru7chPfCKSiAXzMyM8VA&output=html. Please add to it! We would love to hear what YOU need before Saturday.
