Unconference

Do you have a topic you’d like to discuss with fellow attendees? A project or idea you want to share and get feedback on? Something you’d like to teach others? Sign up to lead an Unconference session!

Unconference sessions are informal, attendee-driven, and a great way to connect with others. Sessions will be set up in a round table format to encourage discussion. There will be no AV—only a flip chart will be provided.

You can submit a topic in advance using this form. Please note: Only a limited number of topics will be accepted in advance. If your topic is selected, we’ll confirm your time slot via email and add it to the official conference schedule so others can join your session. This form will close on June 13, but you will still be able to submit topics onsite during the event in the Solutions Showcase – Bluebird Ballroom 1AB.

Click here to view the Unconference schedule. Be sure to check out the topics being discussed and join us onsite for great conversations!
