You are invited to join me at VONCamp (the unconference) at Spring 2008 VON.x

I am looking forward to co-hosting with Tom Howe VONCamp, our "Unconference" taking place March 18-19 during Spring 2008 VON.x in San Jose.

The Unconference is an innovative approach to events that enables participants to identify what THEY want to talk about, and organize themselves into groups to exchange the information THEY seek. I have enjoyed taking part in unconferences at both Kinnernet and PodCamp and I am glad to see us embrace the unconference concepts at VON.

The discussions that evolve during VONCamp will address a general set of topics identified by the participants -- but the actual agenda will not be set until the event begins.

This dynamic and unfiltered format will provide a great opportunity for the people attending VONCamp to take part in active and open discussions around a wide variety of topics that matter the most to the people who will be there. At VONCamp we are looking forward to leveraging the collective expertise of the people in our audience. Joining me at VONCamp will be a number of the people who are also speaking at the VON.x conference.

Over the years I have hosted discussions with colleagues to promote an open exchange of ideas, and this dialogue has always been at the heart of VON. VONCamp takes this premise to a new level by assembling a wider range of people, and placing them in an environment where ideas flow in an unfiltered fashion. Everyone contributes, and the whole ends up being much greater than the sum of the parts. I believe the VONCamp at VON.x will break new ground and will help uncover new opportunities for the people who will be joining us.

At the moment there are twelve topics proposed by our community. This list is available at http://www.voncamp.net.

As a reader of this blog, I believe you would enjoy the discussions that will be taking place at VONCamp. I also ask you to help spread the word about VONCamp.

I am looking forward to VONCamp, and I hope you can join me.
