About


Founded in 2008, BarCamp Philly is an “unconference“ that happens annually in the Fall in Philadelphia. Since 2011, this full day of 60 unique sessions, over 6 time slots in 10 rooms, has happened at The Wharton School's Huntsman Hall. Attendees build the schedule on the morning of the event. Sessions are given on a variety of topics, and the day is created collaboratively – built by the people, for the people.

  • If you want to give a talk or host a session, you can write out a card with the talk name and details and hand it to a volunteer at the board, who will schedule your time. Getting there close to 8:15am to post your talk means more options.
  • At 9:30, attendees and speakers alike will be able to vote by placing a sticker on the card of a talk they want to attend. The card with the most stickers will get a larger room with more seats – no talk will be kicked off the board, however. Fewer votes just means a smaller room for a more intimate conversation with the audience.
  • At 10, we'll kick off the day with opening remarks, send everyone on their way to the first session, and the board-building can resume, with new talks being added throughout the morning. You can come check out the board anytime, or access our digital schedule on any device to see the latest and greatest talk times and rooms.

We encourage anyone interested in giving a talk to post their topic on the board. But giving a talk – whether it's your first year or your tenth – is not required. Most people are there to listen, learn and discuss in sessions and don't necessarily lead a session.

Topics vary from the technical (“Open-Source Needs YOU!”) to the inspiring (“Running: Not Just for the Zombie Apocalypse”). From practiced talks (“Designing for People”) to open discussions (“Nerds w/ Kids Roundtable”). Also, if you don't like the talk you're in, use the “rule of two feet” to get up and go to a different talk.
