Brilliant! The idea of unconferencing is long overdue.Conference-goers (whatever industry) make great sacrifices to attend these events. Why not make their experiences worth it. Great interview post.

Connie,

Thanks so much. I agree. Unconferences have great potential for adding value to all events. We events industry professionals need to take note.

Hey Justin!

Thanks a lot. I've been looking for a good way to do online interviews for some time. This was very easy and I'm happy with the quality. I think I'll be doing more of these. :)

Great interview and great use of technology.

Jenise, would you mind sharing (link) the split screen software you used? I wasn't able to hear clearly the platform you said you were using.

Thanks!
