Its an un-conference in that everyone is a speaker with 100 presenters in 7 venues over 4 sessions. You cannot buy a ticket and must blog your way in. All the blog posts go up on the Congregation site and become an eBook after the conference. There are four broad blog themes - a how to do something in social media, research (either original or curated), a social story of how a business is using social media and finally a social media rant or perspective on social media. The conference is targeting a balance of academics, practitioners, businesses and the provocateurs who spark debate. Congregation uses a huddle structure for the presentations. Each huddle is made up of 10 people with 3 presentations delivered at each one in social venues throughout the village. There will be four sessions (two in the morning and two in the afternoon) with people rotating venues and huddles after each session.Congregation aims to create a really rich engagement environment driven by the sharing of insights.
