“There were lots of opportunities to hear from the experts but also share insights with peer professionals.  It was, appropriately, an excellent learning environment and I think the structure of the streamed discussion groups helped in that. It’s always affirming to hear that people in the same profession are facing similar challenges” -

A variant of this model will be used for the LearningCafe UnConference.
