# BarCamp Portland 2008 dates announced

It’s still three months off, but I’m happy to report that [BarCamp Portland](http://barcampportland.org "BarCamp Portland"), our local [BarCamp](http://barcamp.org "BarCamp") gathering, has announced the dates and location for the 2008 event: May 2-4 at [CubeSpace](http://cubespacepdx.com "CubeSpace").

> Tech + Geek + Culture. The event for the Portland tech community, produced BY the Portland tech community. Interesting topics, cool people, and great networking opportunities. Always free to attend.

[BarCamp](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp "BarCamp") is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants.

The name BarCamp was inspired as a complement to [FooCamp](http://barcamp.org/FooCamp "FooCamp").

BarCamp Portland is managed by the [Legion of Tech](http://legionoftech.org "Legion of Tech") (the same great folks behind [Ignite Portland](http://igniteportland.com "Ignite Portland")). For more information, visit [BarCamp Portland](http://barcampportland.org "BarCamp Portland"). To RSVP, visit the [BarCamp Portland on Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/421147/ "BarCamp Portland on Upcoming").
