In 2009 I brought the *Camp franchise back to Adelaide and organised BarCamp Adelaide. BarCamp Adelaide is essentially an internet and computer conference with a difference – it is organised by like-minded individuals, with all costs paid for by sponsors. No one is paid to attend and everyone presents or contributes in some way. The event was a success with over 30 attendees and the next BarCamp Adelaide is scheduled for March 2010. You can see more about the event at it’s Facebook Group or the website.

CupcakeCamp is a spin off of BarCamp – but with cupcakes. The event originated in San Fransisco in 2008 and has been held in many countries, with Australia having it’s first in Sydney in August 2009. Traditionally, the event is just about eating cupcakes but the Adelaide event will be to raise money for charity. In November 2009, Cupcake Camp Adelaide will be raising money for Camp Quality.

Other events I’ve organised in Adelaide consist of the increasingly popular Adelaide Twitter Meets which brings together Adelaide Twitter users who are keen to meet the faces behind the screen names of those they talk to online. The largest one was held in September 2009 with over 25 participants at the Pancake Kitchen.
