<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<div><br></div><div>The Online Facilitation Unconference is October 16-22 this year. On this list, we've talked in-depth about the pros and cons of unconferences compared to OST. I thought folks here might want to know about or experience the format themselves. The main similarity with OST is that people can post their own session at anytime and use any online tool they want. I expect about 20+ tools to be used.</div><div><br></div><div>I received an email below from the organizers at Center for Applied Community Engagement with a <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/online-facilitation-unconference-2017-registration-37968946140?discount=peer2peer">discount code</a> that they invited us to share with our networks (save 63%), making the price only $17 for the next 24 hours. I plan on using QiqoChat (the tool I've built) each day from 12pm-1pm Eastern (4pm GMT/UTC) to provide a video chat lounge w/ breakout rooms. I hope to see many of you there!</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Lucas Cioffi</div><div>Founder, <font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://QiqoChat.com" target="_blank">QiqoChat.com</a></font></div><div>Charlottesville, VA</div><div>Mobile: 917-528-1831</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Thank you very much for registering for the <em>Online Facilitation Unconference 2017</em>. Only six days left until kick-off, and we hope you’re as excited as we are!</p>
<p>Two things:</p>
<p><strong>1. Peer-to-peer special discount</strong></p>
<p>We’re at 100+ registrants from 25 countries, and we’d like to grow the group just a little bit more before Monday. If you have friends or colleagues who might find the topic interesting, please invite them using the <strong>peer2peer</strong> discount code, and they’ll be able to register for just $17.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/online-facilitation-unconference-2017-registration-37968946140?discount=peer2peer" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/<wbr>online-facilitation-<wbr>unconference-2017-<wbr>registration-37968946140?<wbr>discount=peer2peer</a></p>
<p>This offer is good through Thursday, October 12th at 12pm noon Pacific Time (which is when prices go up again).</p>
<p>Also, please remember we have a limited number of pick-your-own-price and even <em>FREE</em> tickets available – no questions asked! Great for students, retirees, people from developing countries etc. Please share this opportunity with your networks and help us make sure we don’t have any of these left over.</p>
<p><strong>2. Tell us your expectations!</strong></p>
<p>The <em>Online Facilitation Unconference</em> provides a space to share, learn and connect with colleagues from around the world around the exciting topic of facilitating in virtual environments.</p>
