We’ve had a few emails from participants recently, asking whether or not their talk was accepted for the conference. On our programme page you’ll see that we talks some formal organised each morning (except on the Hack Day). Every afternoon we will be an unconference - where the talks, workshops and discussions are user-generated and organised organically during the week.

We have a series of breakout rooms, large- and small-meeting rooms at the Lorentz Centre. These will be used to facilitate whatever talks etc the group requires. If you’ve never been to an unconference before, don’t worry. The idea is that if you have a talk or workshop you’d like to run then you’re free to put it up on a large communal whiteboard. People will indicate preferences for talks and thus we will build up each afternoon’s sessions as the day goes along.

Alongside the unconference sessions we will also have 101 workshops running. These are beginners guides to specific subjects (e.g. Google Maps, Podcasting, Python) and are all indicated on the programme.
