So, what exactly is happening this weekend?  We're meeting at Calvin University, 
same location as before but there's a big new School of Business to enter 
through and we'll use a couple of their classrooms. Map http://goo.gl/maps/Mg2HA

Aug 11 Friday 5pm-6:30 is check-in and dinner, then sessions begin.
Aug 12 Saturday 9am-10 we'll have some breakfast items, then sessions begin.

The full schedule is here https://barcampgr.org/#schedule but we (you!) sign up 
to give a talk on the schedule grid once you show up.  Come and go as you must. 
Many folks bring a laptop; if you're going to present from a Mac, remember to 
bring a display adapter. Delicious food, drinks & snacks will be provided 
throughout the whole event, including various dietary options.  Read more about 
giving a talk and general encouragement that anyone can do it: 
https://barcampgr.org/#participate  Also you can help out with setup & cleanup 
before/during/after BarCamp to keep everything running smoothly.

Please join our slack chat at https://slack.barcampgr.org/  It's a great way to 
chat, ask questions and be in touch during BarCamp (as well as afterwards).

In past years, some folks stayed late through the night Friday hanging out. 
Unfortunately we're no longer permitted to stay past 11pm or so.  If you really 
don't want to drive home and then back in the morning, Calvin has a hotel 
literally next door: https://calvin.edu/offices-services/prince-conference-center/

We have a Code of Conduct because we want BarCamp to be safe and welcoming to 
all people.  Please take a minute to read it at
