    If anybody is coming to the Unconference from Poland, there are some seats available in a car driving down from Krakow. If interested, please reply to this post and I will pass on your contact information.

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to provide us a list of who has signed up for the Unconference? You can send it to my private email address, if so.

    Thanks ever so much.

    Carolyn, Krumlov House

    I think there at 15 people signed up at the moment and I'm expecting at least 20. Everyone who is going works in hostels except for one person from a no-commission hostel directory website.

    Hope you can make it!

    I know this event will just roll on between conversations but I wouldn't mind having a previous brainstorming session...

    I would be interested in the following topics:

    - Working together as partners, not competition

    - How to handle the frugal buyer: customer care for picky guests during recession!

    - Alternative marketing strategies

    - The booking engine paradox: To be or not to be there?

    - Being top rated: The Portuguese Hostel experience

    - Running activities to increase revenue and ratings...

    I bet there are more topics we wanna talk about... do you have any suggestions?

    Good topics...

    More ideas (somewhat overlapping)
    • Offline marketing (e.g., making connections with other hostels, even if it's informal - they do an especially good job of this in some places I've been to)
    • Booking engines: how booking engines can be encouraged to become more hostel-friendly, and/or how hostels can support hostel-friendly hostel directories.
    • the future of hostelling - what is the ideal scenario and how do hostels make it happen?
    • bedbug prevention/control -- there was an interesting discussion about this in Canada. I'll see if I have my notes.
    • how to make hostelling more popular worldwide
    • are collaborative social media efforts worthwhile? (social media = online word of mouth)
