Recruiting Unconference - February 2010

Bill Boorman ran a very successful recruitment unconference last autumn.  His next event is on a much larger scale and takes place from the 17th to 19th February.  The general idea is that he has brought a number of recruitment and social media specialists together to do informal sessions over a two day period.  These run on the 18th and 19th February.  He calls his presenters "track leaders" as the unconfernce bit of the title basically means there are no formal presentations and absolutely no PowerPoint allowed.
 
Track leaders include: Andy Headworth, Jim Stroud, Matt Alder, Laurie Ruettimann, Bill Boorman, Trish MacFarlane, Peter Gold, Steve Boese, Lisa Scales, Geoff Webb, Dee Allan, Jacco Valkenburg, Keith Robinson and Alan Whitford
 
Andy Headworth (who is one  of the track leaders) has done a short video to explain the unconference.
 
The 17th is an event specifically for "sourcers" with 4 experts teaching advanced sourcing techniques for finding and profiling hard to find candidates and clients.   You can register to only attend this event: http://trusource.eventbrite.com/
 
On the evening of the 18th February there is also a social event - a "Curry tweetup" where you can meet all the track leaders, partake of a curry, bid in the charity auction and enjoy the casino and music that will be provided.  You can register for this even if you can't make any of the other parts of the unconference: http://trucurrytweetup.eventbrite.com/
 
I have to say it's difficult to find one place with all the information on the unconference (perhaps it's the nature of an unconference not to give too much away too easily!).  However the starting points are the TRU Conferences website, the TRU London page and the event booking page.
