What is an (un)conference?
An (un)conference is a participant-led conference where the topics and discussions are shaped by the people in the room. Session topics will be crowd-sourced in advance via your registration form, and sessions are available for self-selection the day of the event. Conversations will run like working sessions, with the format intended to foster candid discussions.
All discussions take place under Chatham House Rule: participants are free to use the information shared, but can't reveal who said it or their affiliation.
