like’ event organized by InternetNZ. “Hui”
is the Māori word used for a gathering.
In many ways, NetHui is an un-conference. There are planned themed sessions as well as
sessions that are developed ‘on the fly’.
By and large, the sessions are not mostly presentations, but instead are
community driven discussions that are facilitated. NetHui are dynamic, organic and community
driven. They can often be very
passionate. This year there were about
400 people present.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p><div class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Universal Acceptance concepts were inserted
