A recommended structure is: • Facilitator makes opening remarks and their point of view (POV) about the topic. • Talk about current issues, advances and trends. • Open and facilitate a discussion on the “big questions” on the topic. • When you near the end of the allocated time – summarise the discussion. • The summary will be shared in the synthesis session.

“Great to meet and mix with other L&D professionals. There was a lot of honesty and openness and that was fantastic”.
“A very good day. Provocative, informative and collegiate. Thank you”.
An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. The term “unconference” has been applied to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid hierarchical aspects of a conventional conference, such as sponsored presentations and top-down organization.[1][2]
The term “unconference” first appeared in an announcement for the annual XML developers conference in 1998. Unconferences often use variations on Open Space Technology, the format/method developed by Harrison Owen in 1985. Owen’s 1993 book Open Space Technology: a User’s Guide discussed many of the techniques now associated with unconferences, although his book does not use that term.
The LearningCafe UnConference is different in that structure and topics are pre planned but the content and discussion is mostly not.
