The Society of Indiana Archivists is hosting its first unconference. An unconference is a meeting or conference with no predetermined topic. While they normally have a loose schedule, unconferences are discussion-driven by participants on the event day. Usually, there is a general theme on which participants can break out and base their small-group discussions, and participants share their notes and takeaways with the larger group at the end.
For more information and to register, visit 2024 Pre-Annual Meeting Workshop.
