Jeff Pulver Headlines 'VONCamp - The Unconference' at Spring VON.X March 18-19
in San Jose
Innovative, Unstructured Format Facilitates a Greater Exchange of Opinions and
Ideas

NORWOOD, Mass., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Pulvermedia(TM) today announced
that Jeff Pulver will host the VONCamp/Unconference at Spring VON.x in San
Jose on March 18-19, 2008.
The Unconference is an innovative approach to events that enables
participants to identify what they want to talk about, and organize themselves
into groups to exchange the information they seek. The discussions that
evolve during the Unconference will address a general set of topics identified
by the participants -- but the actual agenda will not be set until the event
begins.
This dynamic and unfiltered format brings out the most from the audience
at VON.x. It leverages the fact that the sum expertise of the audience
typically exceeds the collective expertise of the people on stage. Many of
the VON.x conference speakers are also participating in the Unconference,
providing other attendees with the opportunity to discuss, challenge, and
collaborate with many of the thought-leaders of VON.x.
"For years, I've hosted summits with colleagues to promote a free exchange
of ideas, and this dialogue has always been at the heart of VON," said Jeff
Pulver. "The VONCamp/Unconference takes this premise to a new level by
assembling a wider range of people, and placing them in an environment where
ideas flow in an unfiltered fashion. Everyone contributes, and the whole ends
up being much greater than the sum of the parts. I think the Unconference at
VON.x will break new ground, and influence the type of interaction presented
at face-to-face events moving forward."
Co-hosting the Unconference with Jeff Pulver is Thomas Howe, renowned VoIP
and mashup developer, and principal of the Thomas Howe Company. "The rules of
the Unconference are simple -- there are no rules," states Howe. "Every
participant is equally valued, and all are encouraged to share their opinions,
by leading, or supporting the discussion on a particular topic, or by sharing
the discussion with others through blogs or podcasts."
Currently, twelve topics have been proposed by participants. This list is
available at www.voncamp.net/. Jeff Pulver plans to share his views on
social networking, and its evolving role on business, interpersonal
relationships, and the blurring lines between the two. Other participants
have proposed discussions regarding: mashups, the evolution of Google's
Android platform -- and opportunities arising from it, the impact of the Web
on Telephony, and other developing topics surrounding Internet communications.
At the VONCamp/Unconfernece, the audience literally has all the power. To
