🚀 How to get most out of the program

Innov8rs Unconference helps you to get answers to your questions and solutions to your challenges, guided by experts and supported by peers.

We've designed it following these three principles.

The first principle is participant-driven. The agenda and as such, what we'll address during the program, is informed by your individual and collective input.

In the Speaker Sessions, Curators make sure that speakers focus on your questions and challenges. In the Open Space Sessions, Curators facilitate conversation amongst participants focusing on topics brought forward by session participants.

The second principle is reflection. Rather than just consuming information without really processing it, we'll help you to take a step back and check in - after every session and throughout the program - what you already knew, what you learned, and what's to be explored further.

The Peer Circle calls also support ongoing reflection on learnings as well as getting clear on what/how to implement your insights.

The third principle is peer to peer. Within the sessions, the focus is on learning from and with each other, so make sure to join live as much as you can.

Moreover, via the Unconf Wall - our virtual whiteboard - you'll find what's been discussed and shared in all sessions, and you'll be able to see the progress being made aon nswering all open questions. The Unconf Wall is also place for you to contribute with your feedback in other to address other open questions. 

Below, you'll find our suggestions for making most out of the program.
