What is an Unconference?
An unconference is a loosely structured, participant-driven meeting. You decide what you want to talk and hear about and which topics you want to discuss. It starts with an empty schedule - no topics are mandated and no separations are made between speakers and audience. All participants work out a schedule by suggesting, planning, holding and evaluating sessions, collaboratively.Above all else, the LJC Unconference is great fun, and whether you want to learn or share, it's a friendly and safe space to do it in.
We’re so grateful to IBM for supporting the event and for welcoming the LJC to their fantastic Innovation Studio. You’ll be able to meet some of the team at the event and learn about the amazing work they are doing.
Huge thanks also to Endor Labs, Sonatype, and Gradle for sponsoring the event.
We make a small charge for the event, to cover catering and booking fees, and your ticket includes coffee on tap, breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. There may even be an ice cream as we celebrate running this event in the Summer for the first time ever!
