re:con – a conference of curated videos from other conferences

mollymcleod commented 9 years ago

Have people submit their favorite video talks, curate a set of videos, put 'em on in Ben Franklin, have some short discussion breaks, eat some food.

I'm thinking... July 10th. Not advertised to the public necessarily, but inviting friends and local folk okay.

mollymcleod commented 9 years ago

Before getting too ahead of ourselves, I might suggest:

Coming up with a theme? Even if it's broad... to help the curatorial team. (Who else wants to be on the curatorial team?)
Keeping it accessible? I do like practical/tactical focused talks, but I think maybe we shouldn't include technical talks (or that could be a different re:con:tech...)
Keeping them ~20 min or under, mindful of short attention spans and so we can fit more in

msknee commented 9 years ago

Good points, @mollymcleod! I'm interested in being on the curatorial team.

alanjosephwilliams commented 9 years ago

Agree, great points @mollymcleod.

Some theme suggestions for the curatorial team:

Digital Service Design (p straightforward)
Intersections (interpret freely)
Humane technology (riffing off Victor, but could be expansive)

It was hilarious and transgressive in the XOXO environment, maybe in a had-to-be-there way?
