The UNCONFERENCE

Expect Something Different. Use Technology. Get Into a Lab. Fight Poverty. Vote Best of Show. Dive Deep on 3Ds in 3 Days.

Catch the WOW.

PDMA 2010.  Let’s work together to make it an unconference.  We’ll have the powerful content from practitioners and experts that you expect, but there will be much more!

This conference is about YOU having the chance to participate not just by attending, but by helping to co-create the event.

You will use technology to participate in sessions and meet your fellow attendees.  You will become an active part of the session format.  You will help to generate content.  You’ll play games for a good cause.

Use your skills to fight poverty and learn new skills by creating content around your experience. Make connections between sessions you attend and add your thoughts and experiences for others.

Break the bounds of the traditional conference.  Experience PDMA 2010 as a community of competing ideas, as a game, as a debate, as an event that helps you to bring home new knowledge, new experiences and new professional relationships. 

Be there and help build something spectacular with us.
