"BarCamp Angkor 2012 offer a great opportunity for local youth both
male and female in the Siem Reap town to associate with key speakers
from the town, Phnom Penh capital, and other countries including
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam."

Since 2008, BarCamps in Cambodia have been organized in Phnom Penh.

But this year's BarCamp will take place in the provincial town of Siem
Reap, the gateway to the world-famous Angkor temple complex.

Build Bright University in Siem Reap Province is the venue of the event.

Similar to other BarCamp events, the BarCamp Siem Reap aims to gather
IT enthusiasts and students in order to share and learn new
innovations and ideas in technology, software development, and
business solutions.

BarCamp is brought to Siem Reap town in order to allow and attract
participation from youth and other IT enthusiasts living in the town.

Attendance is expected to reach 500 and out of this figure about 80
individuals from Phnom Penh have confirmed their attendance.

BarCamp Angkor will help in bridging the digital divide in the country.

News group Sabay, one of the sponsors of the event, encouraged the
participation of young people in the province to interact with
prominent IT enthusiasts from the capital and neighboring countries.

A team from Sithi.org, the first human rights portal in Cambodia
facilitated by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights, will participate
in the event to highlight the right to internet access and media
freedom.
