I don’t belong here? the hidden secret of speaking at OpenTech (and most other places)
I think it might be David and Clare’s fault, mostly because it’s harder to blame Amanda Palmer or Merlin Mann. They know why they’re there.
There’ve been a few discussions recently about fully unconference/openspace events, and a desire to achieve more out of them.
And some of those suggestions suggest a slight misunderstanding of why events work, and why some don’t.
