Welcome to the Wiki Page for the Unconference!

 

 

QuickStart


 

  1. You can edit this page using the password "pulver" (all lowcase)
  2. Look at the topics and propose one if you don't like what you see
  3. Add your name to the attendee list. The unconference is open to all delegates, speakers, and people who bought an unconference pass.
  4. Show up and contribute on Tuesday, March 18th at Noon.

 

 

 

What is Unconference (code named VONCamp) all about?

 

For years Jeff Pulver has been running executive summits and other get togethers with the idea of having a free exchange of ideas. This dialogue has been at the heart of VON. These two tracks are intended to pump up the volume of the dialogueZakłady bukmacherskie

 

The Innovators Forum is a series of sessions that show case companies in our more traditional format. However dialogue in these sessions is encouraged. The VONCamp Unconference is harder to describe, because it gives people a chance to self identify as a speaker. At the present time there is time for 12 group discussions. If you've got something you want to discuss that's outside the formal program, VONCamp Unconference is the place to do it. We also have a SpeedDating session.

 

 

VONCamp Unconference Rules


 

Here are the rules:

  1. There are no rules.
  2. Everyone is equal. Everyone is a rockstar.
  3. Give back to the conference by participating actively. "Active participation" might mean giving a presentation, helping with a presentation, blogging or podcasting the event, or whatever other creative ways. While everyone is encouraged to lead a session, there are only twelve slots available.
  4. All sessions must obey the Law of 2 Feet - if you're not getting what you want out of the session, you can and should walk out and do something else. Hopefully you will walk the show floor!
