An unconference is a conference planned by the participants, we all convene together, plan sessions, and have break-outs into sessions. This gives everybody an opportunity to bring to the table the things that interest them the most and lets us talk about new topics that are still new and exploratory. Part of what is important to hearing new voices and getting new ideas is lowering barriers to participation – this event is free and it is driven by the participants.

IMPORTANT: You must RSVP and pay for the Saturday dinner if you want to eat, but you're welcomed to hack with us even if you don't buy dinner.

Bring your laptop and a project to work on if you have one, or come and see what other people are doing. Hint: Friday and Saturday both have ample opportunities to scout out hacking ideas.

The game day is a chance to get out around town, and try out different locative and urban games and activities. Last year we did Pac-Manhattan, Cruel 2B Kind, and a disaster preparedness mapping activity. Check our website for details on this year's game schedule.

We will base at Backspace, and games will issue forth from there.
