Bettr is an unconference primarily for start-ups with an education focus but also open to all manner of folk with an interest in this area.  We are co-hosting the event with School of Everything and it will take place at DEMOS on the 14th January.  The format of the day (in true unconference style) is a bit up in the air at  the moment but already more than 30 people have signed up (with a capacity of 60) so it promises to be an interesting get together.

I have hopes that this isn’t just a one off event and that it grows into something more regular and more ambitious that supports innovation in education and the social web much the way Social Innovation Camp is doing in the wider areas.  SI Camp is very much an inspiration in the long term but for this first event my expectations are a little more grounded!  A smooth running event that allows people to do a bit of networking, listen to some short, interesting presentations and maybe enjoy a beer to finish the day would be a success in my eyes.
