IRGO is pleased to be hosting the inaugural IRGO unConference on the 23rd and 24th of November 2009 at the Centre for Innovation, University of Otago, Dunedin. The topic of the unConference is "New Zealand's Digital Futures." Our opening address will be by Professor Greg Hearn, Director of the Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation at QUT and the closing speaker is Rod Snodgrass, Group Director Strategy at Telecom. The unConference aims to bring together scholars and practitioners from around the region to discuss the future of the internet from multiple perspectives. In particular, the conference will focus around three key questions. Firstly, what might be possible for the future internet of the region? Secondly, what will citizens want from the internet in the future (two, five, ten years ahead)? And thirdly, what potential internet problems or issues will we have to navigate in the immediate future? As this is an unConference, the direction of the discussion is up to you. We are using a submission system where people can suggest topics for panels, nominate panelists, and even vote topics up or down. The final list of topics will be decided by popular vote -- and you do not need to be a registered attendee to vote! We will be making conference artifacts available online, so anyone interested can nominate and vote on topics. Submissions close November 5th. Finally, thanks to University of Otago, registration is FREE. However, places are limited, and registration closes October 30th, so please register ASAP to confirm your place.
