Format

NёrdCamp is a 3-days platform for various activities related to education, work, networking and entertainment with IT as a uniting theme. The 'Camp' refers to barcamps, foo camps and in this case it's really a camp because the venue is located in a countryside, but the environment is more comfortable (meals and a free of charge swimming pool) as it's hosted by a holyday hotel. The core participants are people involved in the 'Introduction to the IT Industry' course yet everyone invited and the frame activity is a coworking with a people-based co-learning program.
