Unconference

What’s an unconference? “The sum of the expertise of the people in the audience is greater than the sum of expertise of the people on stage.”
Good point in theory…often, it’s nice to hear the views of “experts” who have researched and worked through a specialized field. If I go to a conference, I want to learn in many ways - from the speakers, from the participants, vendors, etc. This one-mode view of thinking causes me stress. It’s true on one level, but false on another.
