What is an Unconference?
An unconference is a facilitated, participant-drivenconference centered on a theme or purpose. The term
"unconference" has been applied, or self-applied, to a wide
range of gatherings that try to avoid one or more aspects of a
conventional conference, such as high fees and sponsored
presentations.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference

unConferencing how to prepare toattend an unconference
by Kaliya Hamlin from Unconference.net
"The unconference* format creates space for peer-to-peerlearning, collaboration and creativity.
At the start, the whole group will gather together and be guidedthrough creating an agenda using open space technology. Theexact process is not important to understand in advance theprocess will become clear as it happens. The important part isthat all those gathered will have the opportunity to putconference sessions on the agenda. No session will be votedoff or wont happen for some other reason. All sessions arewelcome."

Polycentric perennial polyculture
This is not to be an insiders club event.Although its to be of a pretty advanced and free-flowingevent, we will try to mix demographics, cultures, Technicalskills, experience etc.
As true to permaculture, its to be a Polycentric perennialpolyculture. Not an Annual monoculture.
