DESCRIPTION

My pitch to the elearning network event in Bristol where I argue that events should become more social, like unconferences, so that delegates participate and learn more. This is inspired by the Tru events run by Bill Boorman.

“The anarchic nature of the sessions took some getting used to. Tracks could be organised, re-arranged or changed on the fly to suit the whim of the audience.”

“The ability to engage with and directly challenge speakers (and other audience members) allowed for a much deeper investigation of the core issues than you would normally expect.”

New approach

Learning is socialLearning is funLet’s do events differently
