You asked, we listened. Having grown over 1000 members in the last 11 months Rust NYC is doing something different. With over 200 of you in attendance the UnConf is our way of saying thankyou. 20 different interactive tracks across all things Rust across an entire afternoon. A purely interactive mix of discussions, workshops, talks, demos, classes and more across all the things that you in our community have specifically requested. This is done in the afternoon, and if you need something to explain the educational value to your employer you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Zp9KstBGq1hboHE9g6UvLITSK9WPRIkNPyWGDHN6Z0/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.anajadtcwm5c

We'll be taking over Lawrence Harvey's offices for the afternoon, allowing you to bring yourself, your laptop, or anything else you want, to come and learn, listen, get involved, and even code if you want to. The full afternoon is completely optionally interactive, so you can get involved as much or as little as you want. With 20 track leaders flying in from 7 different states to fill out the list of things the Rust NYC community requested the most, there is something for everybody to learn at this event, whether you're a 10x engineer or have never written a line of Rust before.
