[Priya Ganesh]

How many knew about the Twitter unconferencing that Happened at Chennai - June 22nd at the Photon Hotel, OMR?

[Prathap Chandran]

I did not know abt the one that happened on June, but I heard one is coming up sometime soon... is that true?

[Murali L]

Pl. let me know What is twitter unconferencing. How is it beneficial? Sorry , if it is a trivial question for you.

[Priya Ganesh]

For all those users of Twitter the first Twitter unconference was held in June this year at Chennai. Unconferencing is the opposite of our regular conferences - more informal, no strict agenda to be followed and more an impropotu get together of sorts. To the conventional this may seem like mayhem, but the objective is to make the corporate world more approachable.

Twitter unconferencing @ Chennai was well attended and had some interesting participants. There was a personal branding presentation, how Twitter can be used as a networking tool for business etc..

I would say depending on your levels of interest such events as this wouldbe an eye opener to each of us as participants as well as entrepreneurs.

I will add some clippings of the event where Voice Snap participated in subsequent posts.

[S.Anand Nataraj]

I attended the event... Is this post a survey or are you try to achieve something out of this?? Glat to know the purpose...

[Priya Ganesh]

Neither..I am just trying to find out if fellow members in this forum are into social media networking.

[Siddharta Govindaraj]

Hai Krishna,

I am fine. Hope you are well too, will keep you posted when this comes up the next time.

[Priya Ganesh]

I believe a next one is on the cards but not until early next year. If I come to know of anything before that, will definitely keep the group posted.

[Karthik Narayan]

Hi
am brand new to this forum. Know this is a bit of a stale-mate but there are a few unconferences lined up for the rest of this year and early part of next year. Will keep the junta posted.

For the record, I was part of the organizing committee for the Buzz 140, in fact went on to host the first Twitter Quiz on behalf of the Indian Quizzing League.

[Priya Ganesh]

WOW!! Do keep us posted when you know something is coming up!
