Next Barcamp Beijing Event Set for May 14, Speakers Wanted

The quarterly gathering of earnest young people known as Barcamp Beijing is upon us, with the next event scheduled for Saturday, March 14 from 2-5pm.

Organizers are looking for speakers to share their ideas and projects with an expected audience of over 100 people. The presentation can be on any topic – a great project/idea/demo/art the speaker wishes to share with the world. Presenters will have 10 minutes to pitch a thought, idea or issue using slides, audio, video or even just the simple strength of one's own voice. This will then be followed by a 10-minute, interactive discussion between the presenter and other participants to share and challenge different perspectives and ideas.

Anyone with the "desire to inspire" is welcome – past participants range from technologists, scientists, doctors and chefs to artists, designers, musicians and social entrepreneurs – and the event is open to all. You can sign up for free here.

The location and venue will be confirmed closer ot the event date. Email contact@barcamp-beijing.com for more information on how to get involved.
