“THE UNCONFERENCE” Regresses - #TruStockholm

Have you heard about the “unconference” happening in Stockholm? Well, if you have, you are right on the money! The regression of this unconference is attributed to the success of the exact same event 12 months ago at the exact same location – Stockholm. The #tru fest is back thanks to Michelle Rea from Social Honesty and hosts/sponsors Monster.se and it will be happening on March 28, 2012.

With a primary focus on employer branding, #TruStockholm will amalgamate aspects such as Recruiting, HR, Technology, Branding and anyone who works in the "people" space. At this point, I would imagine some doubts remain in the heads of certain people as in what this is all about, what an “unconference” is and what are the aims behind it. Well, here it goes:

“THE UNCONFERENCE”

An unconference is an event that is about conversation. Each discussion topic is hosted by a track-leader who is knowledgeable enough of a particular topic. This individual will start the conversation with the audience, provide necessary input where needed. However, the individual’s core responsibility is to make it happen and make is a networking game.

A number of tracks are on the agenda. Take a look:
