@LilaHexe@kitten Classically, an unconference with no defined topic. You show up, there are slots in the timetable on the wall, you write down your talk title on an index card and stick it up
The audience tends to be quite techy so there’s a tendency for talks to be about computer things, but back in the day I also went to talks about the science of human facial expressions, why country and western music is actually good … and more on the computing side, a somewhat legendary hoax talk which seriously led to a major project to improve computing education in schools in the UK
Werewolf and PowerPoint Karaoke are also classic sessions for evening entertainment
