About the Code Camp
Code Camps are grassroots technical conferences run by local developers for local developers. The Utah Code Camp is an opportunity to bring together local developers to learn from each other. It's all about community participation, so if you have something to share, sign up to be a presenter. If you've never presented before, a Code Camp is a great place to start. We loosely follow the Code Camp Manifesto that you can read here(

By and for the Developer Community
Code Camps are about the community at large. They are meant to be a place for all members of the community to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.
Always Free
Code Camps are always free for attendees.
Community Developed Material
All presentations and content should be freely shared among the attendees. You should be able to have your presentation or ideas put into an open forum and discussed.
No Fluff only Code
We loosely follow this rule. We like to encourage presentation with only code but we also understand many out there have a good amount of knowledge to give that isn't only based on the code being written. We like to encourage new presenters to come to the code camp and get there first experience in presenting.
Community Ownership
The most important element is the Community. All of the technology community is welcome to come and attend or speak.
Never during working hours
The code camp will not be held during normal business hours.
Technology Independent
The code camp will not limit itself to any one technology. All technologies are welcome and valued at the code camp. The main goal of the code camp is to help people learn to solve problems. It doesn't matter what technology you are using if you have a problem let's work to solve it.
