What is an unconference?
Often, the best experiences at a conference happen in the spontaneous conversations that happen with peers between sessions.
An "unconference" is a different kind of conference: in the spirit of that spontaneity, it is one where participants suggest topics of interest, the sessions are chosen and facilitated by peers!
Anyone who wants to propose and lead a session can do so—an unconference is about you and other participants.
You'll walk away with new connections, new conversations and new takes on ideas related to teaching and learning.
