One of the coolest new sessions at VON this year is the VONCamp Unconference. Borrowing heavily from the successes of the BarCamp movement, this is a whole day affair that will be part of the Innovators track at the show. The idea is that topics which aren't necessarily covered in the main sessions can be proposed, presented and discussed here. Think of it as constructive anarchy. Amazing things can come out of these sessions.
My good friend Tom Howe will kick the day off with an "agenda bashing" session, where all attendees will decide on the agenda for the day. After that, 12 sessions of 25 minutes each area available. Anyone can present and everyone is expected to participate in some way.
Go check out the wiki. Sign yourself up, and decide if you'd like to speak or participate in some other way.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
