Mark your calendars!
My friend Burt Lum confirmed that he will be organizing Unconferenz III on Saturday, February 20, 2010. I’ve offered my help to making the third year another success, and I’ll be posting updates as I get more details. Keep in mind, space is limited so once the invites are announced, you want to purchase your tickets right away.
In 2010, the unconference format for conferences will be even more important, especially for businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs in Hawaii. 2010 will be about smaller groups, focused content, and most importantly fostering relationships to build and strengthen your communities.
[re]Think: Hawaii targeted no more than 200 attendees total, TEDxHonolulu focused on 100 audience members, Liz Strauss’ SOBCon targets 150 attendees, SocialFresh are 1-day conferences for specific target audiences, Hawaii Community Foundation Leadership conference is targeting less than 300, and Lum’s Unconferenz has always targeted between 50 – 100 individuals in the various technology fields. Call him a visionary, but he’s been planning and hosting the type of conferences the Hawaii community will need moving into the new year.
And, for the record conventions and expos will still be important too, and I’ll be posting the ones I’ll be attending in 2010 in a later post. But, for the Hawaii community, in 2010, smaller is better.
UPDATE: Unconferenz III will be held at Kapiolani Community College.
UPDATE: Join the Unconferenz Ning Group and Unconferenz wiki and get involved in the forum discussions.
