What is an unconference?
An unconference is like a conference with all the networking and discussion among colleagues but with very little of the formal presentation. Guided by a facilitator, participants create the agenda themselves, coming up with discussion topics of interest based on a given theme. Participants then choose which topics they wish to discuss and join that group. Topics are discussed informally for as long as the participants are interested. Participants can come and go from a discussion as they please.

The SLQ Library2.0 Unconference will include one or two short presentations from guest speakers to inspire Library2.0 discussion.
