Space Up is set of “uncoferences” about space. Last week was the DC edition, in wich I had the pleasure to participate. It was my first unconference and I must admit I liked it. I would say is perfect for small conferences where the level of enthusiam is high.
The attendees were coming from all walks of life, from rocket scientist with years of experience to kids with their mums. No specific background was required to attend or even host sessions about any topic. There was only common denominator, interest in space, and a strong commitment to collaborate. Some people brought audio and video resources, some broadcasted it and recorded it, some filled the wiki with content, …. A mother, a scientist, an enterpreneur, a kid, a professional, a journalist. All working together side by side.
