Rob Thomson: Unconferences and why you need to just turn up!

Salam alaykum (peace to you all) - I would like to acknowledge that I am here today on the land of the Darug People. The Darug People are the traditional owners of this land. Hiba talks to ROB THOMSON and unconferences and why you need to physically visit a library? In this episode we discover the beauty of the “just turning up!” mentality that Rob shares about discovering opportunities. We explore the “unconference” style approach to networking and sharing stories.
