Why is there no speaker schedule?

Very good question.  The reason is because barcamp style events are not made up of one person presenting to an entire audience.  Instead they are made up of different break-out groups that will discuss and colaborate on ideas surrounding an agreed upon topic.

1. During the morning arrival time participants will begin writing their ideas of interest to them on stickies and paste them on the wall.  As we get more and more ideas we will begin to arrange them into different Topic Areas. 
• These Topic Areas will become our afternoon sessions. We will probably end up with 3 timeslots and 2-4 tracks (Topic Areas) per timeslot. We will dynamically adjust based on demand.
2. At 10am we will start our two scheduled panels.  These panels will have a moderator to ask questions of the panelists but the audience is strongly encouraged to particiapte.
3. After lunch we'll start our sessions:
1. People will check out the session wall and gravitate to the Topic Areas they are most interested in. 
2. The Topic Area groups will discuss, illustrate, brainstorm, and debate on the area of interest for an hour.
3. Larger group will reconvene to share highlights from their Topic Area.
4. If <5pm, then go to i. Else, wrap up sessions.  GOTO PlayRockband!
