This year marks the 6th anniversary of Rootscamp “Unconference” where organizers set the agenda, share lessons learned and drive the conversation about best practices in organizing.

RootsCamp is an “open space” unconference driven by the people who attend to share, debrief and celebrate the tremendous work organizers did in 2011, regardless if we won or lost. It’s also the place to start preparing for the work ahead of us in 2012.

What is the Agenda?

There is no pre-set agenda.We create a schedule (to the right) and you come ready with ideas. There are plenty of rooms in the building to accommodate a lot of sessions.

 

Who do I present with? What’s the format?

You can conduct a session alone, or with others. Formats may may vary – presentations of case studies, discussions, Q&A’s, demos or skill-share sessions, or a mix. The format is up to you, but we urge you to facilitate a session that is participatory and includes as many people in the room as possible. We discourage panels and dry, text-leave PPT’s.

 

When and where do I post my awesome session?

Some people are proposing session ideas ahead of time, but the schedule will be created at the event itself on what we lovingly call “The Wall”.
