Unconference Event Schedule

A tentative schedule for our event is included below. Its current "bare bones" nature reflects the spirit of an UnConference, because attendees will be helping to drive the agenda. Participants will be asked for their thoughts and opinions on the topics that they think are most relevant to their interests. As these are assimilated, the schedule will evolve into a more detailed format reflecting the needs and priorities of those attending.
