One of the goals of WordCamp Columbus is for all attendees to learn as much as possible and learn what they want to learn with reagards to WordPress and blogging. In addition to more than a dozen great speakers speaking on a variety of specific topics we will also be having an Unconference throughout the day.
Know a little about blogging? Know a lot? Know nothing? All are welcome to the WordCamp Columbus Unconference. We’ll decide on breakout sessions by compiling a list of what participants want to learn, want to share. We’ll learn from each other. In true unconference fashion we encourage participants to find a break out that meets your needs which means its ok to leave a breakout session and join another!
Angela Siefer from Shiny Door will be moderating the Unconference starting at the first Networking session. If you have ideas or questions hit her up on Twitter @angelasiefer

In addition to scheduled speakers at WordCamp Columbus, we are planning an “unconference” portion to the event. This portion will be user generated where WordCamp Columbus participants suggest AND present and/or lead sessions of the topic chosen by the other participants.
The unconference portion will be facilitated by Angela Siefer of Shiny Door. Angela is a private consultant, providing social networking workshops and guidance to non-techies of nonprofit and small/medium businesses. And she’s a kick ass person and facilitator. We love her, even though she does use a platform other than WordPress.
Have a topic you’re itching to talk about, but for some reason or other, we the organizers didn’t think to include that topic in the scheduled portion? Well suggest it now on our UserVoice page. Or just suggest it the day of.
Like blogging, we’re trying to make WordCamp Columbus as user interactive as possible. Come join in the fun.
To suggest an unconference topic or to vote for a topic, please visit our UserVoice page.
