About
Barcamp London XIII is a “participatory unconference”, which means that attendees make the event. There is a semi formal start and a semi formal end, and the middle is up to you. The idea is that everyone who comes takes part in some way: that might be running a session (in any form – a talk, a workshop, a game, etc) or taking photos, blogging, posting to social media, etc.
You can run a session on anything you want. Really, anything! Your session needn’t be technical or formal, and can be in any style you’re comfortable with. We’ve had sessions on all sorts of topics in the past such as mixing mojitos, photography, lifehacking, and making sushi (and plenty of other stuff), right through to advanced discussions on programming, infosec, AI, and web design.
Sessions are 30 minutes long, with a 10 minute break between them.
Tickets must be booked in advance. Arrivals without tickets cannot be admitted. By booking a ticket you are agreeing to our Code of Conduct. These events are popular and tickets “sell out” fast. Get one as soon as you can.
This event is taking place in a sixth form college:
- no smoking
- no vaping
- no alcohol
- ages 16+
Breakfast / lunch is provided.
The event is supported by Proactive.

FAQs
What?
At BarCamp, a group of enthusiastic people gather to share their knowledge about technology and anything else they are interested in. They do this by attending presentations or workshops given by other attendees – and giving presentations themselves, of course. A BarCamp session can be as formal or informal as you like. You can go to any session you like, and if you don’t find a session interesting, you can leave and go to another.
Everyone is encouraged to give a session or participate in whatever way they can. When sessions aren’t running, there’s usually other fun stuff happening: games, conversation, food and drink, silliness, and people hacking on projects. Don’t be afraid, there’s lots of good stuff going on at BarCamp.

Is there a Code of Conduct?
Yes. All attendees – including volunteers – are required to abide by our Code of Conduct.
Is it camping in a bar?
