Details:
Each month members share their knowledge in open spaces. Sessions are proposed by attendees at the start of the event and there are no pre-set topics.

The unconference typically has 3 concurrent tracks and there is always something for everyone.

The vast majority of the sessions are in "round-table" format, meaning that they are a discussion amongst everybody in the room. But, some people come in with a short presentation or workshop that they offer as a session.

Anyone can propose a session to:
• Share their knowledge
• Ask for help
• Discuss a topic

NO SOLICITATIONS!

Hey! Wasn't this called the Lean Startup Circle Unconference previously?
Yes! Historically, this event was known as the Lean Startup Circle Unconference. In order to broaden the conversation and diversify the attendee base, we've decided to not merely focus the event on startups or exclusively on the topic of The Lean Startup, a popular business book that spearheaded a large movement in the world of business and product development.
