Summit details

This co-working summit will be lightly structured with substantial downtime, and we intend that attendees will be able to continue their regular professional work for the entirety of the summit.

We will organize group meals, evening workshops and discussions, and weekend activities. We will also incorporate design features from unconferences, encouraging attendees to create their own workshops and events throughout the course of the week.
