BarCamp is simply an ‘unconference’ – an ad-hoc gathering of people with the simple desire to share and learn in an open environment. Unlike a conference, at a barcamp everyone is both a speaker and a participant. The content is provided by all attendees based on their interests.

BarCamp Nigeria 2009 will be held at Tom Associates Training Center and Conference Hall, 5/7, Alade Lawal Street, Opposite Anthony Police Station, Lagos, Nigeria on 25 April, 2009 as a way to bring people interested in technology, on a variety of levels and topics, together in one place for a day of sharing, learning, networking and brainstorming.

Only when the site attracts enough users will it become relevant @ a cultural level and will we see a natural instinct by Internet browsers to come the site to post for free and find information regarding sales,jobs,business opportunities and love.

The financial question that comes to mind is how the heck to they intend to generate any revenue out of this beautiful baby ?
