It’s an interesting point you want to organise a professional event; do you go with the traditional conference / seminar format or the more relaxed popular unconference (aka barcamp).
Well having attended and been involved with organisational aspects of both it is clear they have their places. There are a number of points that you have to consider before committing to one over the other.
Organisation
- Unconference – It’s very relaxed, informal, embrace it, attendees control the proceedings.
- Conference – Very formal. The attendees will have little if any say in proceedings.
