I attended my first trampoline day in Melbourne last week. Trampoline is an interesting concept - a self organising "un-conference" where the attendees build the agenda as they go, and then facilitate a session for 20 minutes. Sessions can be presentations, workshops, or simply open discussions on anything that the facilitator finds amazing.
Situated at Circus Oz in Port Melbourne this year, there were about 150 attendees and there were some interesting sessions ranging from the political, spiritual, scientific and pure entertainment...
I attended the following sessions:
- Born to run - taught me why I should be running in bare feet.
- A solution focussed approach to change - if only we could take this approach in the corporate IT world more often.
- How to 2-step to punk music - a bit like this
- My TV Remote sucks - usability 101
- Ecosystems and the God Particle - inspired by the book Massive
- Coffee with @jonathannen and @dougenglish - not really a session but a good coffee break
- Anatomy of a web startup - how to raise your first million from someone that had
- The Future of Money - is money evil?
Pretty much all sessions were interesting, especially those that pitted the hippies against the scientists which made for entertaining "un-collaboration".
Looking forward to the next one...
