BarCamp Phoenix Dec. 8!
(As stolen from BarCampNYC, as copied from...) BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one.

How to help
We need to find some sponsors. In particular for lunch, maybe t-shirts and some general swag. We'll also probably have an after party so a sponsor for food and drink there would be helpful as well.

The concept of this conference is start with a loose structure and build the topic plan on the day of camp with the people in attendance. The general topics are things to do with the internet or technology, perhaps Web related, but from there it's open. If there's something you'd like to present simply add it to the list, if there's something that you'd like to learn more about add it to the list of suggestions and maybe someone else will pick it up. Basically the idea here is just to collect a bunch of smart people together and allow them to talk about what ever is interesting to them. If you're an expert on something it might make a good topic, as would a simple demo of something cool that you've made.
