It's unconference style, and very supportive atmosphere for women who work in technology and also want to encourage more women to get involved. I facilitated a session on working in the nonprofit sector, with colleague Liz Perry , who is a sketch blogger and works an instructional technology specialist in a nonprofit school.

The photographs above were taken on the last day of Blogher, at the Unconference on Sunday morning facilitated by the talented Kaliya Hamlin who blogs about unconferences here. As always, I got a lot out of BlogHer, so I wanted to capture here in case anyone else is wondering about this topic. I remember being inspired by it.

And, I wonder how that can be facilitated by the Internet and Technology. Her dream: unconference. What we had unconference with over your shoulder and worked in pairs. I'm thinking about what we used to call "Shoulder to shoulder" learning in the old circuit rider days. So, this is the network effect of that model.

For example, a "voting tools" session facilitated by WeVote generated discussion among participants on the barriers to voting and how to reduce them. CityCamp was an "unconference," meaning that the agenda was defined by the participants, who pitched and voted on session ideas.
