The rise of the unconference

In a time of growing input from guests, ever-increasing pressure to create incredible content, an expectation of the newest trends, and a clear demand for ample networking opportunities, throwing together a conference just really isn't good enough anymore.

Issued by Worx Group

The rise of the unconference

Simply put, people no longer want to attend a stale, vendor-driven conference where they have no opportunity to offer their input or shape the agenda. We’re seeing an exciting replacement rise up: the unconference. What is the unconference you ask? Read our blog to find out: https://www.wrxgrp.co.za/rise-unconference-event/.

Worx Group is a leading live and virtual experiential agency that combines strategy with design, digital and production, to create effective brand experiences that engage audiences and ensure return on investment.
