Resource talk:How to organize an unconference

2021-09-03T03:10:59Z

Bryson: /* The UnConference */ new section

I think the unconference is so awesome! I think not enforcing any particular event agenda allows people to discover the true, authentic passions of the people around them. Mixing official business with a little personal flavor allows people to form connections in a real way, as opposed to the dry exchange of ideas on a more intellectual level at a traditional conference. Obviously, there are disadvantages to this lack of structure but I know this approach is sorely needed for many places in academia and industry.

I haven't heard of this type of conference before and I believe it is a very different concept. It can be beneficial for attendees and creates an organic sharing environment rather than the ordinary setup of any conference where hosts are on the stage and others are listening. It can be hard to start a conversation for some people at the beginning, but we can get used to it!

== The UnConference ==

I dig the "everyone is an expert" model of the unconference. I don't think it precludes the value of traditional conferences, but the world definitely needs more unconferences.
