Session ideas for DVB World 2027

Propose a session for the unconference. All sessions are pitched at the opening circle in Amsterdam on 17 March – adding one here doesn't put it on the agenda.

To add an idea:

  1. Click the Edit button under the last idea in the list.
  2. Copy the example session, paste it at the end, and replace the text with your own.

If the editor shows markdown code, click Toggle syntax ↔ visual editor. Please don't delete entries added by others.


Session ideas

Example session title

  • Host: Your name and company
  • Summary: A sentence or two describing the session
  • Session goal: What you hope to achieve


Unconference advice

Keep these four guidelines (more detail here) in mind when planning and hosting your session:

  1. Start with an outcome in mind. What do you hope to achieve?
  2. Plan a structure to support discussion. Start with a high-level agenda on a flipchart or whiteboard so everyone can see it.
  3. Encourage broad participation. Sessions work best when everyone is heard, and when they aren't dominated by slides or formal presentations.
  4. Capture key points visibly. A flipchart or whiteboard keeps the group aligned and makes reporting easier.

Sessions that work best share experiences, generate ideas, pose questions or gauge interest in a topic. Participants react negatively to sessions that are mainly PowerPoint presentations or sales pitches.

If you're new to unconferences, this article provides a useful overview.
