Wikepedia:“An unconference is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose. The term “unconference” has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored presentations.”
An unconference is an event that has no fixed structure and only two rules, no power point and no presentations.
The day is split into sessions during which a series of “tracks” run on a theme with a track leader hosting the discussion, debate and learning. The discussion takes a life of it’s own with attendees bringing their own views, questions and opinions as well as debate. This takes many directions and concludes with real learning and opinion forming. The track leaders are carefully chosen for their areas of experience and knowledge and for the value they can bring to the “track.” They have been drawn from across the globe giving the unconference a genuine global view.
Attendees are actively encouraged to disagree, argue, debate and question. The only rule is that they respect one another. Otherwise, this unconference is about what they want to discuss and is not restricted to any agenda.
TRU Events strives to give track leaders and attendees the power to share and make the recruitment world more open and connected. They come to learn, discuss, and network with recruiters and sourcers.
