Innovate 2020 is a free event which will provide current, and new, participants in the Chapel Hill 2020 process the open space to discuss the Chapel Hill 2020 Themes and bring new ideas to the table.
The great thing about the Innovate 2020 Unconference is that its content is almost entirely participant driven. Aside from the Key Note Address which will be given by Chancellor Holden Thorp, the agenda will be set on the day by those in attendance and only those sessions that are chosen through the "power of two feet" will take place.
Kaliya Hamlin from Unconference.net gives a great list of the types of sessions that might take place at an unconference on her blog (http://www.unconference.net/unconferencing-how-to-prepare-to-attend-an-unconference/ ). According to Hamlin, sessions may include:
- A short presentation to get things started
5-15 minutes of prepared material/comments by the session leader followed by an interactive discussion- Group discussion
Someone identifies a topic they are interested in, others come to join the conversation and an interesting discussion happens- My Big (or Little) Question
You have a question you want to know the answer to, and you think others in the group could help you answer it. This format could also just be the seed of a conversation.You can learn more about the Innovate 2020 Unconference by visiting http://innovate2020.pbworks.com/w/page/48204616/FrontPage
