All Hail The Unconference

October 27, 2006

Posted by Phil.Gomes

I give many talks. Typically, part of my intro schpiel has to do with one of the strange ironies of this business.

You see... I've gone to talk after talk in the new media space. Each time, the speaker is carrying on about the great conversations that everyone is having online and how one might participate in them.

And how is this message delivered?

Yup... Lecture format.

That's why I'm hoping that conferences big and small start taking a serious look at the unconference as a concept.

From Wikipedia:

An unconference is a conference where the content of the sessions is driven and created by the participants, generally day-by-day during the course of the event, rather than by a single organizer, or small group of organizers, in advance. To date, the term is primarily in use in the geek community. Unconference processes like Open Space Technology, however, have been around for over 20 years in other contexts.

Well... A lot of things start in the "geek community." Like, um, blogs... Just as an example.

And look where we are now?
