Unconference Rules
1. The people who come are the best people who could have come.
2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened.
3. It starts when it starts.
4. It’s over when it’s over.
5. The Law of Two Feet (“If you are not learning or contributing to a talk or presentation or discussion it is your responsibility to find somewhere where you can contribute or learn”)
Call for Topics and Moderators
We are soliciting topics of interest for these sessions ahead of time to make the sessions run smoothly but also make sure that those with subject matter expertise (where needed) can be there as well.
We are taking a leap of faith in each other and in our colleagues to provide as useful and worthwhile an experience as possible. To this end, we seek ideas for topics of interest that you would be interested in attending, either as a participant or a facilitator.

Contact Us
If you have a topic in mind that interests you, please let us know at unconference.tkf@utoronto.ca. We’re also looking for facilitators for the sessions — remember that you don’t need to be a subject matter expert, and that sometimes the best sessions come out of questions the facilitator might ask. The updated set of topics will be posted on the TKF web site.
Have a great TechKnowFile!
