First held in 2006, Minnebar is an annual technology conference held in Minneapolis. Minnebar, like other BarCamps, is an (un)conference that is participant-led and has a very loose structure.
BarCamps are held around the world from Swaziland to Seattle; Minnebar is rumored to be the longest running and largest in world. There are no curated or formal workshops (although we sometimes host minor web celebrities), and all sessions are led by people from the tech and business community.
Minnebar is free and open to anyone with an interest. Ticket release #1 is on March 27th at 2pm. Mark your calendars!
Anyone can submit a session (that means you!) - keep an eye on social or signup for our newsletter to make sure you hear when session submissions open.
