Welcome to the Interop Unconference, which lets users, experts, and vendors discuss hot topics in a collaborative format.
The Interop Unconference will take place during the Interop Attendee Party, from 4:00-6:00 PM on Thursday, September 18, 2008. The evening event has a candid and informal setting, with only a little structure-a dramatic departure from the traditional conference format, one in which attendees drive the content.
This time, we’ll be looking at the openness, security, and business justification of cloud computing, social networking, and mobility.
Over the course of two hours-and a few beers-groups will discuss the future of Cloud Computing, Social Networks and Mobility. Moderators, founders, and industry experts keep the discussion on track.
Take as much, or as little, as you want. Present some slides. Scrawl on a whiteboard. Rant a little. Or just sit back and watch the debate unfold. Unconference lets you take the conversation where you want it to go.
