Calling co-creators and collaborators – lots of you – do you want to make this crazy idea a reality?? If so, get in touch so can add you to list at steven@theseeds.nz
Unconference site now at www.impactunconference.nz
Key theme: Collaboration
“To go fast, go alone. To go far, go together”
Date: A Friday evening and all day Saturday sometime in the first half of [?] 2020.
Cost: Making a profit is not the focus. Figures TBC but $[75?] per person to cover catering and hire of venue.
Vision: Encourage collaboration, empower new thinking, connecting people. And tangible connections and results.
Format: An unconference turns to the attendees and asks them to design the program. On the first night there would be short lighting talks from key players in Canterbury across: Arts, Environment, Tech, Business, Community etc and then a brainstorming occurs of topic ideas – they are voted on and become the sessions the next day. Seek topics for each of those areas so some structure and curation/direction.
Organised by: You? Definitely a team, kind of coordinated and led by Steven Moe but with collaborative approach emphasised and with input welcome from wide variety of people…. so yeah, you.
Sponsors: Not normal… As many organisations as possible “sponsoring” in various ways (but just whatever they can contribute, not based on Gold/Silver/Bronze etc eg for some might just be mentioning in their newsletters). This approach could mean there are many dozens. Canterbury Impact Collective to help coordinate.
Venue: TBC (but Ara?). Need break out rooms and low cost.
Rough idea of program: Friday evening, gather and over a meal and hear lightning talks from experts in several areas. Develop program together. On the Saturday assemble again and divide into different workstreams as follows.
| Time | Topic | Arts | Business | Tech | Environment | Community | Anything |
| 9-9:15 | Welcome | ||||||
| 9:15-10 am | Session 1 | ||||||
| 10-10:45am | Session 2 | ||||||
| 10:45-11am | Morning tea | ||||||
| 11-12 | Session 3 | ||||||
| 12-1 | Lunch | ||||||
| 1-2pm | Session 4 | ||||||
| 2-3pm | Session 5 | ||||||
| 3-3:30pm | Afternoon tea | ||||||
| 3:30-4:15 | Session 6 | ||||||
| 4:15-5 | Wrap up | ||||||
| 5pm | End |

Why is meeting together and networking and hearing views from outside of our silos important?… this visual explains it:
