If you are attending the VON Show in Boston, be sure to check out the VONCamp Unconference. Tired of attending sessions where the same people you have been hearing from are giving the same presentations you already heard? The whole idea is to let whomever shows up select the topics, shape the discussions and share what they know.
"Think of it as constructive anarchy," says Iotum CEO Alec Saunders. "Amazing things can come out of these sessions."
Tom Howe will kick the day off with an "agenda bashing" session, where all attendees will decide on the agenda for the day. After that, 12 sessions of 25 minutes each area available. Anyone can present and everyone is expected to participate in some way.
I'd be willing to bet this is the best use of time most of us could commit at the whole meeting, no offense to the organizers of the more traditional show.
