It's been in the works for a while now, but this weekend it finally got announced: BarCamp is coming to Manchester!

Surprisingly for a city with such a vibrant technical and creative community, this is the first one to be held in Manchester, and tickets are going rather sharpish - half of the 100 slots went in the first couple of hours registration was open.

It's happening on Saturday 1st March at the headquarters of MEN Media, publishers of the Manchester Evening News. The exact schedule for the day is currently "under wraps" (i.e. yet to be worked out), but it currently looks like doors will open at 9am, and no matter what time the main event wraps there is going to be an official 'after-party' in a bar somewhere in the city.

You can get more details at the BarCamp Manchester wiki or you can grab yourself a place at the eventwax signup page now.
