What+Is+An+Unconference



=WHAT IS AN UNCONFERENCE?= You have probably been to many conferences, but perhaps not an unconference.

[|Wikipedia] defines unconference as ...

"An **unconference** is a facilitated, participant-driven [|conference] centered around a theme or purpose. The term "unconference" has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored presentations."

The biggest difference is that it is user-driven. There are no set sessions and the agenda is driven by the delegates. Tell us what topics you would like to be discussed and what you can offer and the committee will try to meet the needs of as many delegates as possible. There are many opportunities for informal networking as well as more structured discussion.

We will operate under the Law of Two Feet. This states that every participant in every session must be gaining something or contributing something (hopefully both). If not, then that person must use their two feet to take them to somewhere where their presence serves a purpose.
