Many participants were at the 'rendez-vous' when we opened the doors, before starting the first conferences.

The day ended with a friendly cocktail gathering the participants around our team.

Our entire team wishes to thank all the participants: developers, agencies, merchants and future merchants, partners...

A special thank you to our speakers, whose work was great: François Ziserman (Araok!), Sébastien Lucas (Oxalide), Tomasz & Romain (Team from SITTI), Cyrille, Geoffrey & Yann (la NewQuest Team), and Xavier Bonnaud and all his team (Profileo).

We also welcomed our partners and sponsors, teams of PayPal, Moneybookers, Trusted Shops, VideoMark , DEJALA, and BeezUP.

This day, dedicated to PrestaShop, saw very rich exchanges, future collaborations, and meetings (sometimes from far!), we think particularly about Sunil and Darshak, who came from Singapore especially for the occasion, Jordi, Pedro, Sergio, Ruben (Spain), Kees & Marije (Netherlands)... and many more!

We're already thinking about the next edition of the Barcamp PrestaShop, real place to meet our community, which we hope will also exceed our expectations!

You can send us your feedback and suggestions via our contact form.

Among the many suggestions already received and which we will consider:

- Larger rooms
- A more privileged contact with our developers during workshops
- Timed sessions, with perhaps a pre-registration system...
