Symposia
A symposium is a purposeful scientific event where experts share their views on a specific subject in a formal setting, often held at prestigious venues and focused on a single topic. Because of the smaller number of participants it can be compared to a compact conference.
We want to refine this model through ‘unconferencing’, an innovative approach that replaces the usual structure of formal lectures and predetermined topics with a participant-driven dynamic. This method stimulates lively conversation, collaboration and active engagement among participants. Unconferences showcase the skills of the participants and stimulate the exchange of ideas, often leading to diverse and original solutions.
The potential benefits of unconferences, such as fostering connections, open discourse and enriching the conference experience for both speakers and attendees, can be extended further by promoting concrete solutions as ultimate outcomes.
