Unconferences, what the heck is this?
Listen to the podcast from
Kiruba
on the Unconference booK with
SUDHIR SYAL
Voice your views In an Unconference, everyone participates, contributes and learns
A new style of conferences is sweeping the IT world promoting an open spirit, a willingness to learn, to share, to participate and voice your opinion. Will this be the way all conferences will be conducted in future?
The central philosophy of an unconference can be summed up by the maxim
“The audience is more intelligent than the speaker.”
This means a member of the audience has as much of a licence to voice his views as the speaker. Another law which holds good throughout an unconference event is ‘The law of 2 feet’. The law of 2 feet states that “If at any point you find yourself in a position where you are neither learning nor contributing, you move yourself to one where you think you would.” This means everyone participates, contributes and learns from one another.
Unconferences in India!
India has seen a sudden surge in unconference, with technologists, entrepreneurs, researchers and corporates showing immense interest and as many as 10 barcamps held in the last two years. The first barcamp in India was held in Delhi on April 3, 2006, and the event has since moved to Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune. After that Blogcamp, Wikicamp, now
