Online Community Unconference East 2010

The Online Community Unconference East -- where online community professionals connect and learn.

The Online Community Unconference East is a gathering of online community professionals - managers, developers, business people, tool providers, investors - to discuss experience and strategies in the development and growth of online communities. Those involved in online community development, and social software in general, share many common challenges: community management, tools, marketing, business models, and legal issues. As we have found with our past events, the best source of information on all of these challenges is other knowledgeable practitioners.

The Online Community Unconference is inspired by the emerging "open space" conference format. (For an excellent description of the unconference format, see this Huffington Post article http://tinyurl.com/csk64s.) There will also be plenty of time for networking.

An extensive FAQ has been posted here: http://forumonenetworks.com/ocue_faq
