As we’ve done the last couple years at Barcamp News Innovation, we pulled together a few high-quality, pre-planned sessions to get your mind flowing. We’ll expect you to fill out the rest of schedule in proper unconference style come next Saturday.
There will be SIX (updated!) rooms in each of five 45-minute blocks during the day, plus a lunchtime keynote, so we’ll share a more detailed schedule next week, but, first, here are the sessions you know will be there.
There is the opportunity for at least 30 (updated!) sessions and just nine are pre-determined, so there is plenty of thinking and sharing to be done.
