Abstract
An unconference fits a middle-ground between planned talks and casual hallway chat. In an unconference, participants collaboratively set up a schedule for topical conversations. Anyone can propose a topic. A schedule-board organizes which topics will happen when and where. Everyone can join (or just listen in on) whichever conversations they like.
Never been to one? We'll give a brief overview of the rooms and times so you can build your schedule.
