unConference

The unConference puts a traditional conference on its head.

How it works

Everyone gathers in a plenary session to kick off the day. After brief welcoming remarks from host(s), a facilitator leads the audience through the agenda creation process. Here, members of the audience are invited to “pitch” their session.

The facilitator’s role is to ensure that the session is not a company pitch or commercial of some kind and is relevant to the audience in some way. They must also listen for like ideas. When that occurs the facilitator will have the individuals who are pitching converse and work to merge into a single session.

Once the agenda is full, the agenda creation ends, and the sessions begin.

The breaks in between sessions are slightly longer than many typical conferences build in so networking in the hallway is rich.

Target Audience: 200 ecosystem leaders, including founders and entrepreneurs, seasoned executives, strategists, investors
