Bargento 2 in Paris, France - June 2nd, 2009

Bargento 1 was a success due in part to its unique atmosphere - both serious and relaxed at the same time. It was this quality of the conference that made the event a very special rendez-vous for Magento’s French community.

Philippe (Wikigento), Gabriel (Fragento) and Fabrice (Fia-net) would like to invite you to this year’s Bargento 2 which will be bigger & better. Bargento 2 will be a venue for the community to share knowledge, contacts and experiences around Magento.

This year’s event will take place in La Cartonnerie (159 rue Saint Maur, 75011 Paris) on the 2nd of June 2009, a place charged with history, nested in the eleventh district of Paris.
