Q: What is an unconference? A: An unconference is a robust gathering of professionals with ideas and experiences to share. Those who come can listen and learn, and— if they want— speak. Registrants offer their proposed topics and the group votes for what they want to see and hear. The day is dynamic, fluid, and energetic, with lots of opportunity for discussion and networking. Great ideas and many new friendships emerged from our last unconference.
+
Q: Who can come?A: Anyone! We offer a low rate and advance registration to FDRIO members as an exclusive member benefit. After April 1, 2018, any remaining tickets can be purchased by non-FDRIO members. Our last unconference sold out— we actually had to turn people away.
+
Q: What kinds of topics can I present on?A: Practically anything that is FDR-related. Topics at the last one ranged from elder mediation, mediation-arbitration, coaching, family violence and tax updates to making more welcoming processes and a musical presentation on finding daily inspiration.
+
Q: Will there by any structured presentations?A: Yes! We will have one fabulous keynote speaker. Stay tuned to learn more!
