What is Camp?
Let's put a whole heap of computer nerds in one place for a weekend and see what happens! Internet is limited but will be available, however food, accomodation, and great company is guaranteed! Be prepared for a weekend-long LAN, programming competitions, tech talks and even a campfire! Bring your favourite ethernet cables, soldering iron and spare GTX1080s and be prepared to have fun. Besides that, it's just a great opportunity to meet some like-minded people and network.
This is an 18+ event, remember to bring your ID. Drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive.
Consent forms can be found here. Please fill them out and send them to [email protected] :)
An experimental online version of the form is available here. Please let us know if you have any issues with the online form.
