The early bird gets the … unconference.

We are happy to announce that early registration for TransparencyCamp 2014 is now open. This year, TCamp will take place Friday, May 30th and Saturday, the 31st at the George Mason University Arlington Campus. By registering before February 21, you can attend TCamp for the discounted early bird pricing: $25 for regular registration and $10 for students.

We’ve also got other ways you can participate in the TCamp community. Are you a returning camper? Sign up to be an Ambassador and welcome the newbies to the unconference experience. Fancy yourself an expert in logistics or customer service? Join us as a Volunteer Camp Counselor and help with registration, keep sessions on time, direct lost campers and other troubleshooting at TCamp. Want to spend a little time on the Hill while in DC? Sign up for Citizen Advocacy Day, sponsored by the Sunlight Network, and enjoy breakfast and a briefing on Capitol Hill on Thursday, May 29 before going to the offices of your senators and representatives to discuss transparency issues.

As an “unconference,” TCamp relies on the participation of the attendees to set the agenda and to create an engaging, welcoming environment. So be sure to come with ideas, share the registration link with your friends and tweet with #TCamp14!

Oh, and don’t forget: Early bird prices end February 21 at 11:59 p.m. EST, so register today!
