Impact Unconference What we learned cover.jpg

Learn from our experiences at the 2020 Unconference…

Collaboration is our future.  So we want to tell you everything we know.  A few of us who helped organise the Impact Unconference that had 350 attend in 6 zoom rooms across 38 sessions have recorded what we learned in this guide (as well as what we might do differently) … our kaupapa (purpose) includes collaboration and accessibility so we are making this available for free to all in that spirit … feel free to pass on to others and if it helps we’d love to hear from you too!

While here why not check out all the videos of the 2020 Unconference at the tab above.

Below is also a video of an hour long session where we outlined key points.
