Eps 947: Choosing a theme for your unconference
— The too lazy to register an account podcast
Collaboration among participants who convene sessions and even merging of sessions on similar topics are both encouraged.
If you convene a session, the decision to merge with another session will always be yours to make.
If you convene a session, it is your responsibility to "hold the space" for your session.

Running a good session is easy it just take some effort and awareness of what can go wrong.There are other ideas worth trying but whatever you do, let people know the ground rules in the first 2 minutes.If you can't stand to listen to people who disagree with you, get a talk show, or start a podcast but don't run a session.You'll see more posts from this forum than there's ever been.
The informal and flexible program allows participants to suggest topics of their own interest and choose sessions.Managing the flexibility of an unconference with appropriate logistical organization can avoid wasting time and avoid frustration for both the participants and organizers.In an unconference format, responsibility for the success of the event is more equally distributed across all participants.Participants are encouraged not only by presenting ideas on subjects that might be interesting but also those who have no experience in it. Participants must provide a detailed description of what they think will work best in terms such as how many people would like this one or why there may still been problems elsewhere within each group. This means you needn't worry about whether your project was successfulit's just fun!
The right theme is clear, has focus, but also leaves enough room for imagination and creativity.A successful Unconference is determined by the passion of the participants which is being fed by their sense of responsibility towards the theme.Everyone can propose a session or write down a question they would like to have answered.You could be an interesting speaker. What are your thoughts? " In our proposal we will consider all options in order that people contribute from different perspectives within this conference!
