As a student of religious history, I wonder what the conferences and dialogs were like at, say, for example, the council of Nicaea or Constantinople, where complex philosophical and theological topics were hotly debated. Would those iconic gatherings have more resembled an unconference or that polished corporate stock-and-trade button down affair?

Hat Tip! One thing that makes public unconferences work is the opportunity it creates for a unknown startup to create some brand awareness. And even individuals to build their personal brand. What is the equivalent in the corporate unconference? Personal brand promotion in corporate environment will could be colored by the politics history. In other words, in general unconferences the influence of past and future 'Karma' is limited. Whereas in a corporate setting, the Karma can have an amplifier effect - you have to bump into the faces on a regular basis before and after the event. I guess, the no-PoC addresses this very well. -Balaji S. Chennai. Twitter : http://twitter.com/labsji Hey,
