Come along and participate in the next unconference.

What is an unconference? according to wikipedia: An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. 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, sponsored presentations, and top-down organization.

Styles of facilitation

An unconference can be conducted using a number of different facilitation styles. Some of these are:

• Barcamp
• Birds of a Feather
• Fishbowl (conversation)
• Knowledge Cafe
• Lightning Talks
• Open Space Technology
• Pecha Kucha
• Speed Geeking
• TeachMeet
• World Café^[4

The accompanying Law of Two Feet states, “[I]f at any time you find yourself in any situation where you are neither learning nor contributing—use your two feet and move to some place more to your liking.” http://www.digital-web.com/articles/understanding_the_unconference/

"The unconference format is based on the premise that in any professional gathering, the people in the audience—not just those selected to speak on stage—have interesting thoughts, insights, and expertise to share." Understanding the Unconference
