Start Your Own

REBarCamp is ‘open source’. That means anyone can host their own REBarCamp!
First of all – let’s make sure you really understand what REBarCamp is and what it takes to Organize an event. Spend a few minutes with “Thoughts on Organizing“.

Still set on having your own event? Cool! You’ll need a website.
You have 2 options regarding domains and hosting.
If you are familiar with WordPress.org vs WordPress.com this is very similar.

OPTION #1

REBarCamp.com/YourName

We’re built on Multisite (the new version of WordPressMU) so we can create a site for you and host it. You will be admin, can add others as you see fit, upload your logo, and have complete control of content, plugins, etc.

OPTION #2

REBarCampAnyCity.com

This is where you own it, host it, manage it. Go get your own domain name, setup your own hosting and create the site you want. We’re totally cool with control freaks 😉

Hosting Note:

If you already have a hosting account, check to see if you can add on another domain. With some accounts there is no charge. If not, here are two hosting companies that I use Bluehost and GreenGeeks that do. (affiliate links) If Option #1 is something you want – here’s your form…

The cost? Free (really) Just keep everything within the spirit of REBarCamp – ok?

We don’t charge https://www.joom.com/en/best/denim-sandal. There are costs that you may incur if you host your own event. Sponsors and/or attendees may negate some or all of those costs. Events can be held in the fanciest of facilities, an empty warehouse, or anything in between.

Remember, it’s your event. You do with it what you want.
