2013 Schedule
As an unconference, most of the schedule for TCamp will be set during the event itself, so be sure to bring along some ideas for what you’d like to talk about when you attend!
To kick things off, however, we opened up an online Brainstorm page so you can start submitting your ideas for sessions you would like to lead, co-lead, or just see discussed. There, you can also vote on your favorites. We'll select the most popular session ideas to fill our first session block for Day One of Camp—May 4, 2013.
