I’ve never been to an unconference before. I only just recently have seen the term mentioned. Apparently an unconference is one where the content of the conference is generated day-by-day by the participants and their overall interests instead of predetermined ahead of time by an organizing group.
I came across this unconference BlogOrlando coming up in September in Orlando. Seems interesting and is focused on bloggers and some of the tools they use when blogging.
It’s a free event so if you are in the area, it might be worth stopping by. If nothing else to see an unconference first hand.
2007 Event:Hyku, in partnership with Rollins College will host the second edition of this FREE event that is open to bloggers and non-bloggers alike from Florida and anywhere else. We hope to bring together a good cross-section of folks to discuss blogging, podcasting, public relations, social media, citizen’s journalism and other related topics. In addition to the Friday event we planned some outings at the local theme parks over the weekend. The event was as much a social/family gathering as it is a ‘work’ gathering.
PS…this is my 100th post….whooo hoooo. I’m having an unparty.
