Our First Conference was a great success and we decided to host another unconference to reconnect and continue the conversation about the issues around Kids Online.

We will continue our dialogue into key issues building on the success of the last conference.

We articulated a list of what we were protecting kids from and the tactics of FUN!

We had these great sessions. Including:

• The Globalization of Safety
• Children Using Adult Spaces
• Identity Tech Tools 101
• Identity Management for Kids
• Legal Issues Now & Beyond – Coppa/Task Force
• Next Steps for This Kids OnLine Community
• Filtering + Moderation/guidelines & chat filter best practices
• Economics of Moderation
• Marketing Catch-All from

We concluded with these outcomes and further questions.

If you are passionate about the issues surrounding Kids Online we invite you to join us - we imagine you might be in one of these roles but you don't have to be.

Who this conference is for:

• Online Community/Virtual World Managers
• Policy officers and Security Officers at large companies
• Consultants in the kids online space
• Identity technologists
• State Attorney Generals
• Legislative Staffers
• Parents and Kids
• Academics in the field
• Blogger

Adult attendees of the conference are welcome to bring their children ages 10-25 to particiapte in the conversations. There will not be child care, this is about talking about the issues with the constituents we are talking about present.  We are hoping that because this is on Columbus Day we will have some kid attendees.

More about the Format:

An unConference, "conference where the content of the sessions is driven and created by the participants, generally day-by-day during the course of the event, rather than by a single organizer, or small group of organizers, in advance."

Beginning at 10 AM, we start with a blank wall and, in less than an hour, with a facilitator guiding the process attendees create a full day, multi-track conference agenda that is relevant and inspiring to everyone there.  All are welcome to put forward presentations or propose conversations.

Kaliya Hamlin, is the facilitator and co-organizer, she is one of the leading designers and producers of unConferences for technology and professional communities.
