What is Drupal Camp Vancouver
Drupal Camp Vancouver is a volunteer-organized, peer taught, multi-track conference focused on the open source content management system. The event will bring experts and rookies alike from all facets of web communications including developers, info architects, designers and themers, as well as entrepreneurs, marketers and non-profit groups. In a collaborative environment, the participants will share knowledge, establish best practices and learn new techniques. Additionally, the event will be an opportunity to celebrate the bustling Vancouver Drupal development community with some social events.

Your Cash (for sure) - For $500 (more for big companies like Sun Microsystems) and we'll spread your message of open source solidarity with vigor and enthusiasm to a group of web-savvy, social-media making, technology revolutionaries
Your Time (maybe) - There are a variety of tasks for eager and talented people to organize and execute. Consider signing up or encouraging a skilled employee to help distribute the load.
