CONNECT AT TECH WEEK SINGAPORE

We gathered together the leaders who have dug deep and found new levels of creativity, innovation and resource. And who have transformed already agile processes to ensure even more ground-breaking levels of problem solving.

Technology for business is more vital than ever before. And so we thought we'd make our latest line-up of expert keynote speakers more unmissable than ever before.

Join us and hear from the global thinkers and practitioners. Be inspired by stories of ongoing challenges when it comes to diversity and inclusion, the skills shortage, finding and training the next generation, cyber security, preventing bias, and working with AI.

Listen to the big questions being answered. Learn how to move your strategy forward leaps and bounds. And think more expansively about your data and its impact on the world.

Not bad for just a day or two out of the office!

Build partnerships and relationships to help fill in the void of the talent pool that we may lack.

Creative technology is truly one of those fields that I feel represent the idea that what we studied , worked on doesn’t necessarily define what we will do in the future (or define us in general). It also represents the idea that there’s no one path or solution to things and all are valid. I think it will be a missed opportunity if we don’t make ourselves visible enough for the youth of our country because many of them, especially those who fall through the cracks of the edu system, feel like they are failures if they don’t succeed in the “conventional” path. So a takeaway is that I would love if we can be more visible and show the alternative side of life blending both art and tech.

As an artist who wishes to evolve, the opportunity to use my creativity and experience  in collaboration with techies to create and refine new tech performances and art :)

I believe in small communities that can make substantial changes in their communities. I believe we don’t need to make it big in big events, let’s keep making things for our communities in our communities small Xmas parties small coffee talks small void deck parties. Then we can start creating that creative culture that’ll make us get bigger having effective change

Experimentation for experimentation’s sake. We need to be able to play to grow ourselves and the work that we do. A space to fail spectacularly.

# data[].attributes.body
artists need help to be bridged over to the tech world. currently most of the projects are often run by tech experts and innovators who then look for artists to collaborate. The tech takes precedence before the creative element is engaged. Would be nice to see more artists rise up with more ease in developing common tech lingo and reversing that order/hierarchy.

In a climate like today. Can we be HUMANITY centered rather than human centered in our designs? Can we raise the standards of our responsibility to design better for our future and the generations ahead?
Can we be empowered by small effective communities in our own spaces to do the work rather than wait for the big companies to make better decisions for us

GeekcampSG x BarcampSG 2023 is the ultimate tech fiesta orchestrated by passionate geeks, just for you, fellow tech enthusiasts!

After the triumphant return of in-person gatherings, our last GeekcampSG, held in a dazzling hybrid style on the 29th of October, 2022, left everyone buzzing with excitement. This year, brace yourself for another day of tech extravaganza! Picture this: Two tracks brimming with handpicked talks, all in one glorious day.

But here's the real magic: We've teamed up once again with our friends at BarcampSG to bring you a one-stop, all-inclusive tech experience that's set to ignite your tech spirit. Our mission? To spark the flames of camaraderie and inspiration within the tech community.

And the best part? Your ticket opens the doors to both GeekcampSG and BarcampSG, so you can revel in every moment of this tech-tastic adventure! 🚀🌟
This year, we will have multiple tracks: WHAT IS GEEKCAMP?
Geekcamp is a FREE event that brings together hundreds of geeks to share about technologies and knowledge. Its objective is to connect the community through curated talks; by Geeks, for Geeks.

The schedule for our event will be confirmed at a later date, check out our website for more information!
WHAT IS BARCAMP?
Barcamp is an unconference meetup where people come together to learn from each other. Attendees are interested in learning new things, picking up new skills and they decide which topics they want to discuss.

As participants enter the venue, they will see the topic wall. Those who are keen on presenting or leading a discussion will post their topics on the wall. If you would like to lead a discussion or make a presentation, take the topic sheet from the nearby desk, fill in the details and post it on the topic wall.

The other attendees will walk around to check out the listed topics. If they like a topic, they will vote for it. If a topic has received a sufficient number of votes, it will be assigned a room and a time slot. Attendees are free to join any of the talks at any time.

Please note that attendees may only participate in Barcamp in-person.

Check out BarcampSG's website for more information.
HOW WILL GEEKCAMPSG X BARCAMPSG BE CONDUCTED?
This year, the organisers of GeekcampSG and BarcampSG have collaborated to bring both events together in the same venue. The main hall will host Geekcamp's main technical track, while the breakout rooms will host Geekcamp's parallel tracks and Barcamp's tracks. Participants are free to roam between Geekcamp and Barcamp tracks.

Geekcamp talks will be curated by the Geekcamp team. Barcamp talks will be proposed by the attendees on the voting board and scheduled by the Barcamp team once there are sufficient votes.

One ticket will allow entry for both events.
TICKETS
Tickets to GeekcampSG x BarcampSG are FREE! Tickets are limited so register early. Unfortunately, we won't be livestreaming this year but we will be recording the talks and publishing them at a later date.

If you'd like to support the event directly, you can contribute a small amount to the running costs of our conference by buying a Donation Ticket at $8, $16, $32, $64, $128. As a gesture of thanks, we'll prepare a small token of appreciation for you!

Join us for an experience that you'll never forget!
