Steve Moore’s Summary

I am in the business of connecting people, generating new conversations, promoting creative collaboration and creating the conditions where innovation can flourish. I have been doing this throughout my career as a Director of a PLC in my 20's, as a Director of the UK's largest public body in my 30's and as an founder of my own companies and as an strategic consultant to Channel 4 over the past four years.

My particular areas of interest are education, innovation, media, technology, the internet, entreprenurship and increasing the study of well being and happiness.

Over the course of the last two years I have had the privilege to bring thousands of people together online and face-to-face to explore these issues in novel and rewarding ways.

My area of expertise is what I call social conferences. The aim of social conferences - or unconferences - is to create more self organised and conversational events. Whilst respecting the enduring success of conferences featuring keynote speakers, PowerPoint presentations, panels and 'break out' groups I wanted to create events where the agenda was in the control of the participants, where no one was ever bored, where the collective intelligence of everyone in attendance was optimised and the potential of the internet to bring people together, to get them talking, sharing and working together was fully exploited.

Over the past two years I have produced over 20 conferences including the following:


o Channel 4 – including In the Wild (2007), Bricking It? and Generation @ (2006) and The E Word (2005) and The Teen Age (September 2007)
o NESTA – Uploading….Innovation (2007)
o RSA – Web 2.0 for Good (2006) and 360° ( November 2007)
o PWC – The Big Conversation (2006 and 2007)
o Futurelab – Science, Society and Sims (2006)
o MIT – Global Start Up Workshop (2007)
o London Development Agency – Working Together 2 (2006)
o Global Entrepreneurship Monitor – Global Entrepreneurship Summit (2007)

Steve Moore’s Specialties:

My main expertise is creating synergy between the type of connections that take place online and face-to-face. All our events start online, giving participants the tools to shape the content of the conference. The self organising hallmarks of the what happens on the web are then reflected in how we choreograph our events. We use a range of large group facilitation processes ( 'open space', 'world cafe' and 'appreciative inquiry') to ensure that the events are wholly shaped by participants.
