This is an unconference
The New Paper, 19 September 2006


New quirky trend for office meetings brought into Singapore by NOC Alumni


Bjorn Lee, NCSV alumni, co-founder of E27, brought Unconference into Singapore. This was a concept borrowed from Silicon Valley and it was exactly different from the usual conference. People do not just sit there and listen, however everyone is equal and able to participant.

Entrepreneur27 Singapore is the sister organization of the original Entrepreneur27 group founded by Noah Kagan in Silicon Valley/ San Francisco Bay Area. E27 strongly believe in the entrepreneurial opportunities in the web and mobile sectors. The "27" in E27 represents their youth focus on entrepreneurs below 27 years old. It is more a figurative expression of their beliefs in promoting youth entrepreneurship rather than a binding rule towards their target attendees and members. Their mantra is communities and conversations. Not audiences and messages. Be it online or offline, this is their core philosophy.
