THATCampVA will start on Friday afternoon, April 20, with your choice of workshops. That evening we’ll gather in a nearby establishment or two or three, giving everybody a casual opportunity to see old friends or meet new ones.
THATCampVA proper — the unconference you will help us plan — will be held on Saturday, April 21 (wraps up at about 5:00 p.m.).
