What is Campus Party?
Campus Party (CP) is an annual week-long, 24 hour a day technology festival and LAN Party. Thousands of hackers, developers, gamers and geeks equipped with laptops camp out in tents on-site for the conference and hackathon.
However Campus Party is also for entrepreneurs, DJs, business transformers and amateur astronomers - anyone looking to solve a problem with technology. Therefore, needless to say, the O2 was filled with fascinating people!
Our favourite moments included watching keynotes such as Vint Cerf, the Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google, with his discussion on the ‘internet of things’. Whilst seemingly sci-fi, the things he was discussing are actually in progress! Here is him photographed with melissa@eventstagr.am !!
During women in tech day, Mitchell Baker, leader of the Mozilla Project was incredibly passionate about her field and the extremely inspirational female leader, Julie Meyer, of Ariadne Capital gave a brilliant quote:
“Entrepreneurs are willing to live abnormal lives” - Julie Meyer
Here you can see the screens that were playing Eventstagram’s live social media feeds of the events (images which were uploaded onto Instagram and Twitter by the crowd, hashtagged with #cpeurope and then streamed directly onto the big screen) before and in between the speakers.
