This post reflects on the recent Open Education Conference and considers the question of educational conferences from the perspective of the Digital Pedagogy Lab, which offers its own conferences. Sean Michael Morris writes, "What is the pedagogy for conferences now, in a landscape where keynotes should be something more than talking heads, where organizers who are white and male need to cede not just the stage but the design of events to make way for new ways of knowing, teaching, and learning?" Fair enough, but these questions are neither new nor based on more recently-evolved ideologies. I remember writing about how I would organize a conference back in 2007 with suggestions based on (what I thought was) nothing more than common sense. (P.S. if somebody gives me enough money I'll organize a conference - but not until then).
