Have you Tried an Unconference

I was catching up on my backlog of reading the other day and came across this article in the December 2009 edition of Inc.  Its about the latest craze in attending conferences - The Unconference.  What the heck is an Unconferece?

Basically its a traditional conference, except there are no pre-determined topics nor speakers.  Those in attendance determine what is going to be talked about.  Now, there are some logistics involved, but the  bottom line is - the participants toss out ideas, questions, theory's, etc. and then someone steps up to be the facilitator of that session. 

I think this is a great conccept and would love to attend one if they are ever in my area.
