The event was restricted to the who\u2019s who of the brilliant people doing cutting edge work.

The success and the joy of organizing this event totally changed my perspective of events. \u00a0Some of the best talks at the event did not come from CXOs but from youngsters who would never have stood a chance to talk at any major conference. Everyone had a role to play in the event. People took up responsibilities. There were not attendees. They were participants. They felt ownership towards the event.. I\u2019ve organized many events but never felt the joy I felt at this event. To me, this was an eye-opener.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiruba.com\/unconference\/making-of-the-book\/\"><strong>Read More\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column][mk_revslider id=&#8221;Home&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;55px&#8221;][vc_column_text] Making of the Book In 2004, I came across\u00a0FooCamp, an invite-only, camping style meetup of great minds in Sebastapool, California.
