5 tips for leading an unconference session

Thu 03 Jun 2010 10:31:40 | 17 comments

As part of a longer post over on IABC's InSession conference blog, I've made five suggestions for leading a kick-butt session at our unconference. I'm sharing that advice here on our grou.ps network, too:

Share the mic. Unconferences are very much about group collaboration and participation. Spend a few minutes sharing your experience or position on a topic, and then throw open the discussion and get everyone involved.
Ask good questions. You’re not expected to to have all the answers. Keep probing your colleagues for their insights.
Go out on a limb. Have a topic that was “too hot” for the formal IABC conference? Here’s your chance to stir things up with a crowd that will embrace fresh and even off-the-wall ideas.
Capture the conversations. We’ve created an unconference wiki for recording notes in each session. Find a note taker who can document your group’s highlights for posterity.
Carry the discussions beyond the event. The World Conference is just getting started on Sunday; it doesn’t end until Wednesday afternoon. That means up to three additional days to continue the best conversations from the unconference in person (perhaps at our tweetup the following night in Traders Lobby Bar). We have two online venues, too–the TorontoTalks social network and Facebook Page–to help keep up the exchanges well beyond Toronto!

A guy who whispers in your ears, saying ” It’s alright, I’m here.” Holds you when you’re sad, and treasures everything about you. That’s the guy I want to give my heart to.
