An unconference is a participant-driven event where attendees come together to share and learn from each other. Unlike traditional conferences, the agenda is created collaboratively by all attendees at the start of the event using a process called Open Space Technology. This creates space for peer-to-peer learning, collaboration, and creativity, as everyone has the opportunity to put conference sessions on the agenda, ranging from formal talks to informal discussions. There are no pre-set sessions or voting process, so every session is welcome, and all ideas are considered. An unconference provides a unique opportunity for attendees to connect and engage with their peers, share their knowledge and expertise, and explore new topics and ideas.
We will do 4 sessions in the morning.
A quick lunch break to rejuvenate our energy levels.
Six extra slots for attendees to share, discuss, and learn about topics of their interest.
The wrap-up session will include a quick summary from each session owner, highlighting the key takeaways from their respective sessions and facilitating further discussion on important points.
