The not-for-profit community (NFPC) have a need to understand about new technologies but very often do not have the finances to attend courses and conferences in order to gain knowledge about them. In this paper we look at the nature of knowledge as discussed by Polanyi (1995, 2004) and colleagues and use the SECI (socialization, externalization, combination and internalization) model to identify seven key factors for facilitating participants' knowledge when they attended an 'unconference' held in Wellington.
