A table with office material, stickers and yellow T-shirts in the style of the sex pistols (black letterson top and a pink invert on the bottom) spelling "Never mind the billionares here's the fediverse". 
Next to them is a purple sign saying "T-Shirts donation-based" and up from it is a A4 QR code asking for support for donation for the NOAW unconference. 
On the right there is story card with a Monty Python reference picture of a foot and the title "Shapping a rock into a ball"

Most meeting planners think that conference session topics must be preplanned. Instead, build a program that reflects actual wants and needs.

Science Conferences Are Stuck in the Dark Ages: painting A Friday Evening Discourse at the Royal Institution; Sir James Dewar on Liquid Hydrogen, 1904 (oil on canvas)

An article in Wired Magazine argues that "Science Conferences Are Stuck in the Dark Ages." I agree — but there's some light in the darkness!

Words we use for meetings: an animated graphic showing competing words used in the meeting industry. Online versus virtual. Networking versus connection. Unconference versus peer conference.

The words we use for meetings matter. By changing the words, we can change how we think about meetings. Here are three examples.

Unconference! — Stuff by Dave Kurley This will be my first experience of an Unconference, which (I am reliably informed by Jazz) is ‘a conference created by the participants on the day’. The idea is if you have a skill or some knowledge ...

Unconference bloggage: if you're in the Óbidos area on Saturday, come down!
Also in this week's blog, an updated version of a poem I originally wrote back in 2020! It's called Un-, which I felt chimed with the theme of Unconference...

biggest unconference mistake: a screenshot of a computer software dialog box with the title "Warning" and the text "Proceeding with the operation 'Delete' will erase the contents of your hard drive. What do you wish to do?" Two option buttons are provided: "Proceed" and "Delete", and the dialog close box is greyed out.

A diverse group of professionals in business casual attire, gathered in an office space with large windows and natural light. They are engaged in a lively discussion, with expressive gestures and smiling faces. One person stands next to a sign that reads "Lessons Learned" in bold, black letters on a whiteboard. Coffee cups, laptops, and notebooks are scattered on the table.
