What is an unConference?

An unConference is a participant-driven event that breaks away from traditional agendas. Instead of pre-planned sessions and keynotes, attendees co-create the agenda live at the start of the day, ensuring discussions are timely, relevant, and impactful. This format enables real-time collaboration on topics that matter most to participants.

With no pre-set structure, sessions evolve naturally, accommodating the latest developments, challenges, or ideas. Whether you want to present a well-researched topic, workshop a new idea, or simply join a discussion, the unConference agenda adapts to meet the group’s needs in real time. It’s not just an agenda—it’s a reflection of the collective expertise and interests of the participants.

How can I support the unConference?
