We are about to begin InnovaCamp, these last weeks we have been preparing all the details from CitiLab looking forward to these one & a half days of shared experiences and knowledge.

Taking part in a barcamp is something that each person experiences in their own way and we hope that everybody enjoys every moment. Here is a list of things to take into account for the benefit of everybody. It is our own interpretation of the norms of barcamp, adapted for the occasion:

1- Puntuality > There are a lot of people presenting in a short time, and we
have to keep to time or we will finish very late.
If you are presenting, check the time of the slot in the program . Make sure you are ready for your turn and pay attention to the time indicators which will tell you the time remaining. If you are going to use slides we
recommended that you bring a pendrive (much easier than changing computers). If you need your computer for specific software please bring it however.

2- Spaces > The barcamp coincides with other events in Citilab,
ensure you to go to the correct room (A). There is cafe on the ground floor, and other spaces to gather (you can also become a
citilaber for just 3 euros a year and enjoy the facilities when you want). If  some session doesn’t interest you or
want to take a break,  please leave at the changeover & not in the middle of a presentation.

3- Right to present > The program is now closed. Although there may be last-minute changes, if you haven’t already arranged to present we have organised a “Speakers Corner” where you can record a video which will be uploaded along with the other videos of the presentations and you will be able to embed in your blog etc. Ask one of the organisers.

4- Tags > #ICM09 is the tag if you are going to use Twitter, upload photos to Flickr or similar, write a post, Facebook, etc. Bring your laptop and chargers, there are plenty of power points and wifi (wifi:innovacamp, password: innovacamp) perfect for Twitter addicts like us!

Ah, 1  more thing > If you have seen the blog you will know that InnovaCamp
Mediterrane@ is a trilíngual event, we have been updating the
information but during the sessions everybody will present in the language of their choice. In the last rows of seats we will be doing a simultaneos translation. Volunteers accepted!
