The guiding philosophy of our unconference
The people who show up are exactly the ones who need to be there. Every participant brings unique value and perspective.
Innovation and learning happen in their own time. Don't wait for the perfect moment - start when you're ready.
Don't drag things out. When the energy is gone or the topic is exhausted, move on to something new.
Let go of expectations. Be present with what emerges and trust the process.
If you find yourself in a situation where you're not learning or contributing, use your two feet to move to another session. This isn't rude - it's taking responsibility for your own learning experience.
Cross-pollinate ideas by moving between sessions, carrying insights and questions from one group to another.
Sometimes the best conversations happen in the hallways. It's okay to flutter around and create spontaneous connections.
"Be Prepared to Be Surprised"
The best unconference experiences come from unexpected connections, surprising insights, and spontaneous collaborations. Stay open!
To ensure the insights from our sessions live on, we encourage:
Each session should appoint a volunteer note-taker
Capture whiteboards and flip charts
All notes will be collected and shared post-event
We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere for all participants. We have adopted the Berlin Code of Conduct.
No obnoxious recruiting or job hunting. Respectful professional networking is welcome, but this is a learning event, not a job fair.
