FutureEverything 2010
PlayEverything Unconference

Saturday 15th May 2010
Contact theatre, Oxford Road
from 12 noon

FREE

A day of open, participatory workshop and conversation events, whose content is provided by the participants. Exploring subjects as diverse as the people who propose them.  You can do as little or as much as you want, but remember that to get the most out of the event it is all about sharing skills, knowledge and ideas.

The Unconference is a chance for people to pitch up and share knowledge about the things they are passionate about within digital culture. If you are interested in 'mashing up' data, creating new forms of music or hacking together devices from redundant technology, the Unconference is the place to tell people about it.

Come along on Saturday 15th May at 12 noon for welcome talks and fun icebreakers to get people warmed up, running through till midnight fuelled by some free pizza during the day.  If you want to run a session at the Unconference, you can then put your name and session down on the PlayEverything Unconference board.
