BARCAMP 2025
ANTWERP-GHENT-BXL

What is a Barcamp? Expect a no-frills, no-fluff gathering of creatives, thinkers, and probably a handful of geeks. There’s no predefined speaker lineup or schedule. Attendees can prepare a short presentation and sign up for a time slot on the event day. Talks last 10–15 minutes, followed by a brief Q&A. The best Barcamp talks are short, inspiring nuggets, preferably personal stories, far from slick corporate decks.Barcamps are informal events run by volunteers worldwide. They handle tasks like badges, setup, cleanup, and promo, making the event possible. Get in touch if you want to help out!You’re also welcome to attend without giving a presentation.Header: Antwerp edition 2009, photo by Paul Cobbaut

  • An experience that shaped you

  • Something you built recently and want feedback on

  • An obscure technical topic you want to clarify once and for all.

  • A positive movement you want to start soon
