#BarCampBelfast2024 is set to hit the Oh Yeah Music Centre. this October as part of (Belfast Tech Week) hashtag#BTW2024 .
BarCamp Belfast is a user-generated unconference for founders, designers, developers, startups, creatives and anyone that wants to share and learn in an open environment.
An unconference means that there are no fees to register and attend and there are no invited speakers. Instead, the attendees volunteer to give talks, organising the schedule on the day.
Marty Neil, the founder of Airpos, is the driving force behind this year’s event. He aims to emulate the success that Andy McMillan had back in 2009, while respecting the groundwork laid by Andy and reflecting the good work done in the past. Along with a dedicated team, Marty is committed to working hard to pull together an event that promises to be worthy of the name ‘User Generated Conference’. Belfast BarCamp 2024 is expected to feature talks throughout the day and offer networking opportunities for participants from all across Ireland and beyond.

Thank you Alan Meban for all the great work you did then and continue to do even now 15 years later! :-)
While there will be some references to APIs and tech jargon, the majority of discussions will focus on business development in web design, project management, life coaching, and managing clients to maximize satisfaction and profit. Expect to see a lot of entrepreneurs, plenty of networking, and a bit of self-promotion from some speakers!
Of course, none of that’s bad. In fact, the quality of the talks is expected to be incredibly high, reflecting the local market and the wider ecosystem. Looks like it’s a social island after all!
Not having Wi-Fi might have proved quite liberating for the events back in 2009 as it encouraged real-life conversations and kept people’s heads up from their laptops… This time there will be Wi-FI… Make of that what you will! :-)

This will not work without you! Your hashtag#BELFASTBARCAMP2024 needs you to step up!

It would be great if all the available rooms were booked solid all day, with talks overflowing into corners of the public spaces. More talks would shrink the numbers in some rooms, perhaps allowing more interaction and conversation and less talk from the front.

We (the team) are only taking the 1st Step! Now it is up to you to engage… With this post… by clicking attending on the event page (once it is setup) by sharing this and letting everyone know that this is happening and that we need good people to stand up and talk!

Help us make this great for you… Start by watching the video, clicking a wee like on this post and sharing in the comments. If you where at Andys Barcamps back in 2008 & 2009 we would especially like to hear from you.

Lets make this happen!
