Hostel Management Unconference Wroclaw, May 2017

Join us for the Hostel Management Unconference in Wroclaw, Poland!  This event will be from 8-10 May, 2017 at Grampa's Hostel.  Share your own knowledge and learn from other hostel professionals from around the world!

The format of a Hostel Management Unconference consists entirely of group discussions - picture something like the HostelManagement.com forums but in person! There are no one-way presentations and no sales pitches--only hostel managers discussing what we love most. The Unconference is an opportunity to meet other hostel managers, talk about issues that affect hostels, and share our combined knowledge and experience for the mutual benefit of all participants. 

Conversation topics will be proposed in advance by the attendees. When you register, please submit the questions to which you would like to find answers at the Unconference. Each registrant will submit the topics that they are most interested in discussing, and we will decide the order of discussion during the event. As there are no presentations, all attendees are asked to take part in the discussions and contribute their own ideas. All discussions will be held in English.

The Unconference is organized around a 2.5-day format, with an informal welcome event on the evening of 08 May followed by discussions, cultural exploration of the city, and plenty of networking on 09 and 10 May. If you are traveling from outside of Poland we suggest planning your trip to include extra travel days for tourism around the country.
