You’ll find details of the unconference model, the session board, and useful tips on proposing and leading sessions…

For example, here’s the section on creating a compelling sticky note – an essential part of the Camp experience:

Show up at TransportationCamp with your session in mind. Head to the board, grab a sticky note, and describe your session. Don’t be shy about it! You are interesting and your work is compelling and people will want to hear what you have to share. Your note must include:

  • Session title
  • Your name
  • What kind of session it is (presentation, brainstorm, Q&A, demos, hacking…)
  • More info about the session — will it be technical? are you open to co-presenting?

It helps if your sticky note is compelling (not just legible). Here are a couple of great examples:

Whether you’re coming to TransportationCamp for the first time, or an unconferences veteran, hopefully you’ll find the Essential Guide useful. See you on Saturday!
