I was so impressed with the quality of the talks and discussions, and how everyone took on the roles of both teacher and learner. I think the best kind of conference is one where everyone can teach and learn from each other, rather than the usual &#8220;sage on the stage&#8221; model. We all have something useful to offer. <a href=\"http:\/\/annual.ala.org\/2010\/index.php?title=Unconference\">Michelle is going to repeat the feat this year at ALA 2010 in D.C.<\/a>, this time with the Allen County Public Library&#8217;s Sean Robinson. They are adding some really cool activities to this year&#8217;s Unconference, like flash debates, Pecha Kecha presentations, and a fishbowl at the end of the day. Wifi, as well as awesome conversations, should be plentiful. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/annual.ala.org\/2010\/index.php?title=Unconference\">Unconference<\/a> will take place Friday, June 25, 2010 from 9am-4:30pm.
