An unconference is a participant-driven meeting where the agenda is created on the spot by attendees at the beginning of the meeting to allow for flexibility of topics and discussion-based sessions. Unconferences are intended to be collaborative and offer an atmosphere where questions are welcomed and sharing is encouraged. The unconference is designed to give participants have more input into and control over their learning and takeaways.
