Want to sponsor the BCNI afterparty at the Draught Horse?

While last year’s afterparty had us all treking to old city, this year BCNI aims to make your post-BarCamp life easier.

BCNI 2010′s afterparty will take place immediately after the event at Temple’s very own Draught Horse, a nine minute walk from the event.

The afterparty will undoubtedly be amazing, but we’re looking for a sponsor to chip in to make the event extra special (read: open bar). For under $1000, Draught Horse is willing to provide at least two hours of free drafts and well drinks to all attendees.

If you are interested in sponsoring the afterparty (or BCNI) contact organizer Sean Blanda.

The rough schedule for BCNI 2010

As of now the day will follow the following schedule:

9:00 a.m.: Doors open / breakfast
9:45 a.m.: Opening remarks, explanation
10:00 a.m.: First sessions
11:00 a.m.: Second sessions
12:00 p.m.: Lunch session
1:00 p.m.: Third session
2:00 p.m.: Fourth session
3:00 p.m.: Fifth session
5:00 p.m.: After Party

New this year: panel picker. What do you want to hear at BCNI 2010?

One of the complaints we received last year was that BCNI was a little too open-ended and hard to grasp.

To help get the creative juices going and prefill some of the presentation slots we’re using uservoice.com to open the submission process to community.

Here’s how it works: you submit topics that would like to see discussed and vote on other session topics you would like to see. On March 15th we’ll pick the ones that get the most votes and solicit speakers. Feel free to�volunteer�yourself or others on uservoice.

If we get enough submissions, we’ll fill 40 percent of the session topics out before the event and leave the rest for those who are more�spontaneous.

Have fun!
