Pre-Conference Workshops

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 dialogue.

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 are 12 speaking slots. 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

There are no rules.
Everyone is equal. Everyone is a rockstar.
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.
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!

Webinar: VONCamp Agenda Bash All Welcome

The "Unconference" at Spring VON.x is about to get busy, by way of the virtual experience on www.voncamp.net. Last year at Fall VON we held our first "Unconference" and this time promises to be bigger and better. Combined with the Innovators Forum there is no better place for Web 2.0 and Telco 2.0 types to meet and look for the business models that make both sides of the equation happy.

To put a framework around the "Unconference" is hard after all, the rules start off with rule #1 being; there are no rules. However, there are participants and they have the floor, the agenda, the lessons, and the network to bring opportunties out where they can grow.
