Bangalore, February 13, 2012: Over 400 techies took part in 11th annual  Barcamp hosted at SAP Labs in Bangalore last week.

Said Amarpreet Kalkat, a participant at the Barcamp: “This is a great place to connect with like-minded people in the fraternity and discover and discuss new ideas. This platform provided by SAP Labs gives me an opportunity to meet people with whom I would otherwise interact only on the virtual space. Exchanging ideas with people also helps us learn and unlearn the dynamics of technology trends.”
Dhruva Krishna said “The conferences earlier hosted working professionals speaking on their careers. Now the trends have changed with college students being an active part of the conference. The topics of discussion at the event have evolved over the years and we are glad to see more technology enthusiasts share our passion.”
