HOW ARE UNCONFERENCES DIFFERENT?

UnConferences are events run by participants.  Attendees can submit topics or challenges, set the agenda for what’s discussed, and create an environment of productive discussion.  Instead of passive listening, all attendees and organizers are encouraged to become participants, with discussion leaders providing moderation and structure for attendees.
