Call for Speakers
Closes March 30th 2007

Code Camp is a one day free training for all developers of any technologies to attend and learn from there peers and local speakers.  We are looking for Speakers to present at this event.  All topics are open for discussion and all formats.  The sessions would be 1 hour long with a 10-15 minute QA time at the end of the session.  This will be an all day event we plan to go from 9:00-5:00.  You don’t need to be present the whole day but we would love to have you for an ask the experts panel at the end of the day. 

We are looking for 100-150 people to attend the code camp.  I hope to have enough speakers to break this into several tracks that run at the same time.  Right now a SQL track and a DEV track are planned. 

You must bring your own notebook for your presentation. You’ll have a chance to test the video connections during the speaker prep meeting. There will be a room on site for speaker prep during the day of the Code Camp.

Any code samples you show should be made available for download from Code Camp web site. 

We are not covering travel and expenses for speakers, but you will receive recognition and a great big THANK YOU from yours truly.  A Cool Polo Shirt also!

If you’re interested please submit a session title, abstract, and bio Email to Pat_wright@sqlpass.org Please put Code Camp Speaker In the subject. 

This is a great opportunity to give back to the community and present on a topic that you like. You don't need to worry about being the best presenter in the world, just get out there and tell people about what you know or what you have been thinking about. Also this is not just about Microsoft technologies. I talked with Pat and he said he has invited other user groups (I think he specifically mentioned Linux and Java) to present as well. I think it would be great to be able to sit in on a session on Ruby on Rails or Continuous Integration with CVS or something else that I would not normally hear at a Microsoft sponsored event.
