Let’s co-create an unconference together

The format of the event 14.-16 June is “un-conference”.

What is an “un-conference”?
It is not the main scope to have a programme with a lot of long speeches and presentations – the idea is that the most of the time we will all work together in groups and bring up relevant topics and contribute with mutual knowledge and ideas.

A mix of speakers and workshops
The next library conference will be a mix of invited speakers and open sessions where you/the participants decide what will happen. At the “Program”-page of this website you can suggest themes for workshops – just add a comment under “Make a proposal for workshops”- the next library team will help manage the comments and ideas, set up the workshops and contact moderators.

Join this website
You are invited to join this website and participate in the discussions and suggest workshops, conversations, games & online sessions in this nextlibrary website.

Suggest proposals for workshops
There will be 14 workshops during the unconference. Suggestions have allready been made for some of them. In the programme you can suggest proposals for the workshops.

Share and build knowledge together
The main purpose is to share and build knowledge together. It is therefore significant to have participants mixed between experienced world class library people and people from developing library communities.
There will be space for interventions, speeches and such, but it is not the main purpose.

Planned activities
The Conference Team will together with a great team of moderators – organize the un-conference event and support the activities within the planned elements:
• Get2Gether at the Main Library on June 14
• Un-conference at Lake sea Lecture Theatres at Aarhus University on June 15-16
• Conference Dinner Party 2.0 at Varna on June 15
