2:28 pm — Brian and Wedge explain how we’ll do the self-organising unconference sessions – completed ‘pitch a discussion’ papers are placed on the wall in readiness.
2:35 pm – Anyone with an idea for a useful group discussion stands up and sets-out the idea in like 25 seconds. If you have already submitted your idea by paper, now is the time to explain your idea verbally. If you have not submitted your ideas, this is the time to stand up and explain your idea – Brian and Wedge will write your idea down on paper and place it on the wall.
Brian and Wedge place all ideas on a big wall chart, alloting a time and place to every idea. Every idea is accepted (but some might be merged), so if you pitch an idea, you will facilitate a group discussion.
There will be around 32 discussions, but you will have to choose your favourites as there will only be time to join four.
1st session 2:50 pm — Everyone looks at the wall and chooses where to go for their first session (25 minutes)
2nd session 3:15 pm — Everyone gets to their chosen second session (checking the wall for the location) (25 minutes)
