With around 150 people in attendance at Barcamp2 Area15 was hoping with a tech savy and media crowd, we even pitched a tent outside to allow for more sessions.  It was a great success,  even ended up as a trending on twitter.  A number of people covered the event online,  and we are looking forward to hosting more events for Barcamp in the future.

Events like Barcamp really allow Area15 to show how NoDA is quickly becoming the preferred home for those people looking to engage and excite audiences with a new view of Charlotte.

Here is the result!

Jared says “No renaissance was ever built on an individual level, it was the community that applied creativity to all aspect of life”.  Area 15 is Jared’s home,  both the facilities and the community  have made it a home.
