Innovation unConference presented by Mass Technology Leadership Council
The Innovation unConference is a unique way to talk about a number of issues in a single day, but without the constraints of a planned agenda with panels.
Everyone gathers in a plenary session to kick off the day. After brief welcoming remarks from host(s), a facilitator leads the audience through the agenda creation process. Here, members of the audience are invited to “pitch” their session.
The facilitator’s role is to ensure that the session is not a company pitch or commercial of some kind and is relevant to the audience in some way. They must also listen for like ideas. When that occurs the facilitator will have the individuals who are pitching converse and work to merge into a single session.
Once the agenda is full, the agenda creation ends, and the sessions begin.
The breaks in between sessions are slightly longer than many typical conferences build in so networking in the hallway is rich.
