SPOS #142 – Unconferences Are Not Conferences

Welcome to episode #142 of Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast. This is the first recording with my new laptop, and from my first listen, it does not sound good at all. So, it’s definitely the sound card on this laptop (as I am using the same microphone). I’ll need to find a better solution. In the meantime, it’s all about the content, so enjoy the conversation…

Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation – The Twist Image Podcast – Episode #142 – Host: Mitch Joel.

Six Points of Separation – Six Things About Unconferences You May Not Know:
1. You don’t attend, you participate.
2. If you don’t like the content, create a session you will like.
3. They should not be presentations, they should be conversations.
4. The Law of Two Feet.
5. If you register, you should attend.
6. It’s not a conference: don’t expect food, water of a gift bag.
