pertCamp

pertCamp is an informal, community-driven event focused on the fields of Project, Event, and risk management, often incorporating aspects of Agile methodologies. The name itself is a portmanteau of "PERT" (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), "Camp" (suggesting an informal, gathering-style event), and sometimes "Agile" or "People." These unconferences are characterized by a participant-driven agenda, often created on the spot, allowing attendees to shape the topics discussed based on their interests and needs. The format typically involves a series of "unconference sessions" where participants propose topics and collaboratively decide which ones to explore. These sessions can take various forms, including discussions, workshops, presentations, and problem-solving activities. The emphasis is on open dialogue, knowledge sharing, and networking among professionals in these domains. pertCamp events aim to foster a collaborative learning environment, moving away from traditional, top-down conference structures. They provide a platform for practitioners to share experiences, learn from peers, and explore new ideas and best practices in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. The specific focus and themes can vary from one pertCamp to another, reflecting the interests of the organizing community and the attendees.
