SATECH SEATTLE UNCONFERENCE

Purpose: The SATech unconference series aims to connect student affairs professionals within the Puget Sound area and Northwest region who are interested in learning and sharing knowledge about technology in student affairs. The unconference model is an example of a democratic learning process in which the participants choose topics that interest them. This happens initially by soliciting electronic submissions before the event and then through facilitated discussion throughout the unconference. There is no traditional call for programs as all participants end up being both presenters and participants by sharing their experience, expertise, and questions. Featured speakers will be brought in via video in between breakout sessions, so there is no cost to bring presenters to campus. Date: Location: Costs: Saturday, October 5th, 2013 9:00am-4:30pm Engineering Building, Seattle University Given the short duration and unconventional model, costs for this conference will be relatively low compared to a traditional conference. A core tenet of the unconference series is that these events be accessible, so costs to the participants should be limited to what it would cost to get themselves to the conference (i.e. parking, lodging if necessary, etc.).
