I have had some people discuss with me this exact dynamic.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Someone asked me a very interesting
question tonight about unconferences, and I thought I’d best
bring it to this forum. The question was are the staging of
unconferences ever motivated by the desire to make money. I’m

money as in a profit-making model. <o:p></o:p></p>
